Podcasting and ABC Radio...

I grew up on the islands of main land PNG, the only form of media entertainment I knew was the radio and it was generally the ABC radio. As a result my siblings and I became good auditory/linguistic learners. After downloading my chosen Podcast called `Technology 4 Teachers` by Sean M. Martinson and listening to some of his clips, it reminded me of listening to the ABC radio before bed when I was a child.
Pod-casting for linguistic learners is a great tool for teachers, like radio shows there is a limited allocation of time per episode, which means succinct amount of information is relayed. I could also see Pod-casting as a great tool for students to use, similar to Blogs only with a verbal component. The other area I picked up on from the Podcast I downloaded was you can further the information by referring it to your web site or blog.
After looking around at other sources for Podcasts I came across ABC National Radio Podcasts
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/
and have downloaded one of their shows to listen to in the car with my MP3 Player.
