    The podcast series I have been doing on this site have proven far more popular than I could have predicted, so I am moving them off to a site of their own – PodLeaders.com. If you are a fan of the podcasts, note that all future podcasts will be published on that site, not here.…

    Apologies if you were trying to access this site or its podcasts at around 1am GMT this morning – the site was briefly offline.

    One of the biggest problems with podcasting is the space and bandwidth podcasts consume. There are a number of ways around this, but none are perfect. In my how-to post about podcasting, I mentioned that it was possible to use the Internet Archive to host your podcast and video blog files free. The problem with…

    Damien has posted a suggestion on his blog that there should be an Irish Blogs and Podcasts Awards and he followed it up with a post on Boards.ie so that there could be a discussion about it (Damien’s comments are still broken!). Do I think this is a good idea? Potentially! If the idea is…
