Podcast on hops

[bitter_dave]

I found and listened to this http://www.podcast.net/show/3206 (episode 40 at the bottom of the page) on hops which I found quite interesting.

Incidently, the podcast website lists two 'stations', which you can dowload programmes: http://www.podcast.net/tag/brewing


It's all gratis

What's a "Podcast"???

:blink:

A Podcast is a file that you can download to watch and/or listen to on your computer or mobile mp3/video player. They became known as podcasts because people often download them to their iPod mp3 players.

You really need broadband to take advantage as the files can be very large. If you download a file to your computer desktop, you should be able to play it in Windows Media Player by simply double clicking on the file.

Interesting site, I just tried a couple; unfortunately the one on Hot Side Aeration is not working at the moment.

I have a 1958 GEC Valve radio downstairs, can I pick it up on that by chance?

I'm not sure broadband has ventured into my village yet. Still in the dark ages here. Think I need to pedal faster, as my monitor screen is going dim now.

Shame , If you'd had the 1959 version they released, you'd be fine because they fitted that with broadband

Beware, once you have broadband, it's likely to be almost impossible to go back to dialup..

I'm listening to this right now; it's very good stuff. Must listen to a few more of these. B)

DaaB - it is possible to download them and then listen offline but you may need some techy wizardry to do it! B)

[Andy]

With some of them they play automatically and don't give you the opportunity to actually download the file. So the knack is how to work out where the audio file actually lives on t'internet and then downloading it

If you want links to any of the others on the initial link BD posted then let me know which ones...

Edit: They seem to be several Mb each (15Mb for the first) - broadband only so get your neighbour to download if interested.

I've listened to a couple of the podcasts from the original posts. Apart form the guys irritating habit of describing himslef as an idiot once every five minutes, they're quite good.
