One of the latest trends on the Internet is podcasting. The way I've heard of thinking about podcasting is like TIVO for Internet radio broadcasts. There are lots of small niche shows out there at places like podcastalley.com. Do we think there would be any interest in a weekly bridge podcast? Both from a would you listen and a would you participate question.

Yes, I have been hearing a lot about Pod casting. As I understand, it is like having your own radio station.

Podcasting would be rather novel - I'm interested.

If you have an iPod or similar mp3 player, there is software that lets you say "I want to listen to Internet radio talk shows X, Y, Z, etc." Your computer then automatically downloads those shows whenever there is a new one and then downloads them to the iPod when it gets connected to the computer. In this way, you can listen to the shows whenever you want without the hassle of manually downloading them and remembering to look to see if there is a new show available. You can still do it manually but the idea is that this makes it easy to do it automatically. Perhaps more importantly, the podcasting sites provide a centralized location for people to register content and in this way it is easier to find the sort of stuff that you're interested in. There has been some bridge journalism before but I just wonder if this new technology will make it easier to produce bridge content.
On a side note, I remember seeing an interview that this guy did with Rodwell after he had won some big event. The interviewer asked him how he had won, expecting Rodwell to talk about strategy at teams and their superior judgement. Rodwell said something to the effect of "the opponents made many mistakes."
