Just a reminder to check out the Nokia Music Podcast at our other blogspace: www.blogs.s60.com/nokiamusicpodcast

The shows are about 30-40 minutes long with full tracks, song commentaries and interviews with artists from many genres.

We started this show to try to practice what we preach... not only talk about podcasting, but also get hands on experience with all aspects of it. From the concepts, creation, distribution, etc.

It also helps to see different things which can be done in the RSS feeds to add value to the mobile podcast experience... and also the things which are a challenge. (Uh.. choosing "Go to Website" from the mobile takes me to the Music blog, but you have to scroll through a MESS of the side bars before finding the proper content. I think its a problem with the template of Movabletype, but something that still needs work to get a better experience.

But I've enjoyed finding podcasts which utilize the COMMENTS in the RSS feed so the mobile link can take you directly to browse or make comments on the device which is cool.

ANYWAY...

You can leave comments for the Nokia Music Podcast about the artists or recommend other "podsafe music" for consideration in upcoming shows as well. Let us know if there is a genre you are aching to hear that we arent hitting yet.

The RSS feed is one of the first defaults of in the FEATURED section of Nokia Podcasting DIRECTORIES.

November 09, 2006 Your Recommended Podcasts & Directories? Posted by Steven at 10:40 AM | Categories: General Podcasting

We've already gotten some fantastic responses for the Nokia Podcasting feature "wish list" (Bookmarking, or remembering position last listened to, seems to be the hands down winner for most requested feature). Please keep the ideas and recommendations coming.

As many of you know, Nokia Podcasting features default directories to help users quickly find recommended content to help discover great audio and video podcasts. (One of my favourite new default directories is "International", which highlights engaging podcasts from around the world in various local languages.)

So what are your favourite podcasts are why do you like them?
In the Comments section below, tell us your top 3 favourite podcasts (or Podcast Directories) which you think should be added.

Please list:
1. Name of Podcast
2. URL of RSS feed
3. Format (Audio or Video)
4. Why you think its a great podcast

Shameless self-promotion is acceptable.

We are specifically looking for content that would be immediately accessable to a general international audience for an excellent first time podcasting experience.

(Note: excessive vulgarity is not usually encouraged for featured podcasts.)
