Radio broadcasts, of course, happen at a given time and receivers are either tuned in or not. Even satellite radio, which conquers the limitations of a radio signal, is fixed in time. But what if a radio program could be harvested and stored for internet distribution and played later at the convenience of the user? Then you would have what's called podcasting, a free technology that has come from nowhere over the past few months. This week, On The Media becomes the first NPR show to make itself available via podcast. Bob discusses the implications of podcasting with Tod Maffin, technology columnist for CBC Radio.
