I posted yesterday about the iPod economy. Here's another emerging part of that ecosystem - audio shows delivered via RSS enclosures for automatic synchronization with and playback on Apple's iPod.
At least that was the proposition when Adam Curry got the ball rolling with his original version of the iPodder for the Mac but the terms of reference have now been widened to embrace all sorts of software and hardware. Recently the project caught a real head of steam when it got slashdotted and just today Scott Johnson added enclosure support to the brilliant Feedster.
I've been listening to (ex MTV VeeJay) Curry's "Daily Source Code" show since he started it a few weeks back and it really is a pioneering production. Himself and Dave Winer have now teamed up to bring us a new transatlantic co-hosted show called Trade Secrets, the first 'episode' of which I caught last week. It was great and points to a truly exciting future for on-demand 'podcasted' audio programming.
