Rush is Pod-Casting
I'm not what this new term "pod-casting" means over and above downloading and playing MP3 files on a portable device. But that's what you can now do on Rush 24/7, the best talk radio premium site out there. Until now, you could only listen to the last four weeks via online streaming.
The fidelity is better (48k vs 20k online), but there's no theme, bumpers, not even the end of segment sounder. And you get an automatic downloader to fetch them when available. So far so good. (If you want to see the opposite, a totally screwed up multi-media enabled site, visit www.nascar.com.)
So let's review. We can get Rush, Bennett, Prager, Ingraham, Medved, Savage, O'Reilly, Hendrie, ... on demand. Who am I leaving out, i.e., who is leaving us out?
