I don't think people really want to hear Microsoft Sam on their iPod's :hehe:

However, listening to a sample of it, I could live with it!

On a sidenote, wouldn't it be easier to have podcasts turned into written blogs :?

It's really quite good (tho time-limited).. and seems to be easy to use.

On the other hand, I have a desktop application that allows me to do the same thing without having to sign up for this sort of service and isn't limited as to length..
