Explored podcast directory Podcast.net
Many subject groupings of items offered.Also, title,presenter,location etc. search options available.
Yet most items found were just downmarket junk!
Tried known local radio program "Late night live"
Scored hits for archived programs, but could not get any of them to play!
When visited ABC RN website direct ,to obtain podcast - no problems!
Tried some foreign language podcasts listed in directory- some play, some dont.
Tried politics and government listing- found mainly acres and acres of trivia and opinionated junk from downmarket "shows".
Best tactic is to home in on a known quality source, eg. ABC RN, BBC , and go for a known quality program.
Visited ABC Radio National.
Tested Boyer Lectures,Late Night Live,Hindsight etc. All work.. no technical problems.
Added HINDSIGHT RSS feed to my Google Reader Account. It worked. No technical problems!
ABC Radio National has not yet gone downmarket, and still offers a number of quality, objective,thought provoking programs available on podcast.
SLV could make use of this "application" by making earphones available to potential "poddies", at a terminal in the AV section in AMPA.
