podcasts tend to be cut from radio shows. Its like having on-demand radio, and above all, its free! if you haven't tried them yet its well worth a go.
What i would like to do is have some way of being able to work the mp3 player whilst riding. Has anyone managed this? i'm thinking one of these

strapped to the handlebars may work pretty well
any ideas?

so these podcasts ?

can you retrieve them straight to your ipod when on the bus or something ? or have you gotta download em from your home pc to your ipod and watch em later ?

you download them via itunes, then put them on your mp3 player. theres so many different types of show from news, music, comedy even a londonbikers.com on!
