Radio 4 Podcast Trial

Radio 4 is now offering a range of radio programmes as podcasts which you can listen to at leisure on your mp3 player. To download the Friday edition of the arts programme Front Row to iTunes, for example, go to the Advanced menu, select 'subscribe to podcast' and paste http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/frontrowinterview/rss.xml
into the box. This will automatically download the programme for you every week, and upload it to your iPod when you next connect it to your computer.

Another interesting podcast subscription is available from Penguin Books (http://thepenguinpodcast.blogs.com/) , "a fortnightly episode of book extracts, author interviews and features from Penguin Books UK."
