A good coverage<\/a> after all, just watch the wave and hype get even stronger now:<\/p>\n

(…) Their show, mostly ad-libbed, is a podcast, a kind of recording that, thanks to a technology barely six months old, anyone can make on a computer and then post to a Web site, where it can be downloaded to an iPod or any MP3 player to be played at the listener’s leisure.<\/i><\/p>\n
