I’ve got a funny feeling this podcasting thing is gonna take off. Go figure.
While I’m busy on my own things (Tee, we’ve gotta tell everyone soon), I’m also helping to maintain the SF/F node over on ipodder.org. It’s a community-support directory of podcasts in various flavors. Unlike most search engines, this isn’t an automated thing, but completely moderated by humans. And I, cool as I am, have the honor and privlege to maintan the science fiction node.
A few minutes ago, I gave the node a major overhaul, adding some scifi podcasts I have been listening to as well as re-orging the page into subcategories. Adam has announced some impending changes to the way node managers can update the pages. He and I corresponded back and forth on some possible additions, so I hope he takes to heart my suggestions of adding things like frequency of updates, last uploaded show, and a better description field. We’ll see.
But anyhow, we know you love us best, right? But for the two or three days when we don’t provide you enough of a scifi fix, check the node. And if you know of a scifi podcast which I’ve missed, suggest a link! I’ll get to it ASAP.
I listen to your Podcast on Podcast.net strait from the internet.

Awesome, Evo, good to know someone responsible is on the node. I’ll check it out. I have too many podcasts to listen to already, so there’s no harm in adding more.
Is the ipodder directory going to get show descriptions at some point? I think that may be podcastalley’s single greatest feature.
I hope one of those additions was links to website and not just to podcast feeds. Some of us would rather download the whole thing and listen whenever.
But that’s just some of us. And yeah, good show descriptions would increase ease of use. Maybe even have a 1 minute snippet of the show, right there for people to click on and listen to… kinda like Amazon does with snippets of songs from CD’s you can buy from them.
