Indeed.  I didn't know what podcasts were, either, until Linux Weekly News
covered them (and naturally, Linux applications for listening to
them, creating them was covered the week before) on the front page of the

I haven't tried out any of the apps mentioned, yet, but I'm likely to, at
some point.
