foxy digitalis podcast?

so i'm soliciting opinions here and seeing what kind of interest there might be in a weekly or bi-weekly foxy digitalis "podcast."

first you are probably asking, what is a podcast, exactly? here's some info: via wikipedia.

my understanding is that it's basically a pre-recorded radio show that people download. awesome idea. it's another way the internet is decentralizing the powers-that-be.

my thoughts would be that every week or two i'd do either a half-hour or hour-long "show," featuring alot of music that we currently have featured in that month's issue of foxy digitalis, and i'd also intermix some tracks from new and old digitalis and foxglove releases.

my biggest concern is bandwidth... a 30-60 minute mp3, even encoded at 128 kbps, is still going to be 30-60 MBs. depending on how many people downloaded that... that could be huge. i've been considering setting up another server just for hosting mp3s, so this might be something that would make that a necessity.

so what do you all think?

    hey gary -

    i have to say, i'm still slightly confused how the xml side of things work. is it pretty easy to figure out? as far as i've figured out, it's posting an mp3 to a server somewhere for people to download. beyond that, i'm a bit lost. heh.
    but i'm committed to making this happen one way or another!

    thanks for the feedback!

    I think it sounds like an awesome idea. However, I wouldn't be able to listen to it, since I don't use my work computer for audio stuff at all, and i still don't have an internet connection at home. I don't see anything negative about it at all, besides the time and energy you'll have to put into maintaining it.
    Maybe you could put some out of print foxglove sounds in the mix as a treat?
