In the world of technology, I am nothing if not a procrastinator.
Until this weekend, I had never listened to a single podcast. That's right. Not one. I know what an iPod is, but I don't own one. And I know what a podcast is, but I've never much bothered looking into them.
Well, I have now "pulled up the rear," as the saying goes, and I'm joining the 21st Century with the rest of you.
Join me, won't you, in welcoming two new personal-finance podcasters to the airwaves:
Money Blogger Podcast
NCNBlog
How long before the rest of us join in the fun?
(By the way: How do podcasters get around bandwidth issues? When a single podcast weighs in at 10 megs or so, that'll add up pretty quick when you get any audience at all. Yipes.)

Money Blogger Podcasts

Not sure how many people 'get around' it, but it's perhaps not as big a deal as you think these days. GoDaddy.com offers 250 gig of transfer for $4/month. ev1servers.com offers 1TB of traffic for $99/month. The big pros might be able to engage akamai or some other distributed service to handle 'massive' loads, but I distribute 1500+ copies of each podcast which is around 10meg with no problem (via ev1servers). Bandwidth costs are not what they used to be (I used to pay $7/gig transfer as recently as 2002!)
