Hi guys,

Firstly, EchoRadio is very cool...We're trying to do something similar over at www.friendsofaljazeera.org. Although the issues in the Arab world are a bit different - a free press is still a novel concept here. Our first podcast (well, we haven't put up a feed but the mp3 is there) is with Tayseer Allouni, an AlJazeera journalist who is awaiting trial in Spain.

Now, the reason for this comment...you guys have to find a naming convention and stick to it! Currently there is no order on my ipod for EchoRadio...sometimes there is a #, sometimes a -, sometimes a space, etc.

Mohammed-

Thanks for the comments!

You are right about the naming convention-- this has been on my to-do list. Our filenames and ID3s have been different depending on who posts the podcast. I'll make an effort to standardize.

I am very interested in learning more about Pod Casting. I have written to the editor of my favorite blog, http://thegreattestblog.blogspot.com , to see if they could produce an article about it. Perhaps you guys could help them out and send an article or something...
