Mahalo guys! Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments. I have already started putting the next show together and have some incredible talent on board for the next adventure. For you folks who haven't hipped to Podcasts yet, Most cost nothing to listen or subscribe to. You don't need a iPod, all you need is a browser, iTunes or an application that plays mp3's. I would suggest iTunes because they make it real easy to listen, subscribe and watch enhanced podcasts which are no more than podcast with images and/or video included. My shows are enhanced podcast. To play my show go to Coconutwired.com and click on the little icon that says "pod" by the episode name and it will play in your browser as a quicktime file. Most browsers have the quicktime plug-in already installed. Of course a slow internet connection is going to have you waiting because the files can get hefty. Give it a try, but beware podcasts can get addicting. They are all I listen to at work these days. Much better than listening to stuff that means zilch to me.

Here is the wikipedia definition of a podcast:

Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either RSS or Atom syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to download or subscribe. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming (see below). Usually, the podcast features one type of "show" with new episodes either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily, weekly, etc. Besides that there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed. Podcasting's essence is about creating content (audio or video) for an audience that wants to listen when they want, where they want, and how they want.
