I’ve never felt the need to buy an iPod before as the only music I tend to listen to is what I hear on the radio but now I have had a change of heart.

There are so many great podcasts available which I do try to listen to but find it distracting to listen to these on my PC. So now I’ve decided to order an iPod so I can download the podcasts onto it and hopefully I’ll have more of a chance to listen to them when I’m on the move.

Some of the podcasts I listen to regularly are:

The Best of Chris Moyles
Scott Mills Daily
Webmaster Radio

I’m sure I will be listening to more once my iPod arrives.

Another one of my sites I have is Podcastblaster.com.

Podcasting is a new way of distributing audio broadcasts using the Internet. Using this method, people can subscribe to a variety of content in a certain file format (usually as MP3s). These files are then downloaded to a PC or a portable media player and can then be listened to at any convenient time. Podcasting is a new word that combines “broadcasting” and “iPod”.

A definite distinction of podcasting from other media delivery methods online is its subscription component – which basically defines the whole podcasting experience. Podcasters usually use a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) or Atom feed to push their content to subscribers. It also allows independent producers and “broadcasters” to create and self-publish their own syndicated “radio shows” – whether it be talk radio, poetry readings or even comedy shows. Podcasting also gives traditional radio programs another distribution method for their shows – one that is not confined to the airwaves and available on demand. All that a listener needs to get the podcasts is “podcatching” software that is designed to check for and download new content at a given time. Other podcatching software are even designed to synchronize the downloaded files to the listener’s portable digital player.

PodcastBlaster.com was setup to sell a unique podcasting package for beginners who wanted to enter the world of Podcasting. Everything needed to get started is included with step by step instructions, professional quality recording software for creating your podcasts together with ready to use professionally produced voice-overs, loops, background effects, stingers and Podcast-safe music.

The whole package costs only $39.95 and come with a no risk 30 day money back guarantee. In the year or so that I have been selling this software I have only had 1 refund request. That must say something for how useful people have found it.
