Free hosting for Irish podcasts

Liam Burke has come up with another great idea - he's setup free hosting for Irish podcasts using a GMail account. There aren't any shows in there yet but I'll bet it won't be long. In fact I think I've finally convinced a friend of mine to start his own podcast, one which I believe will offer a very valuable service to a specific subsection of the community. Stay tuned....

Thanks for picking up the idea, hopefully this will make more Irish bloggers get involved in the 'Irish podcast revolution', because lets face it Irish bloggers have the best phones.

Interesting to see who you got to hopefully start a podcast...

Thanks for submitting a podclip, it's a pity gmail only has an atom feed, if it was rss we could subscribe to it by logging in our details and see if it has been updated.

I didn't bother to log-in to the podhost gmail account as I knew I had set up the pop account, but when I visited your site I saw all your great podcasting ideas here and that you had sent a file to gmail, I logged in to find I had entered the wrong email in the pop forwarding section. Now I'll know when it's updated and will be able to inform people on my blog.

Would you have to be logged into the GMail account for the ATOM feed to work Liam? I'd imagine so for security reasons but have never tried it. How does GMail handle several simulataneous logins from different locations?

Have you used the software to make your GMail account appear as a virtual drive? Check this article in Engadget if not -

Very useful!

I've used it on sage (http://sage.mozdev.org/) and it asks for your login and password once you click it, it only diplays new messages though.

I installed the drive just last Sataurday, it's very handy if you have digital images you want to upload and save/share.

I have logged in to gmail here in the college while logged in back at home and when I got home I was able to use it as normal.
