Tartan podcasting

Podcasting has reached Scotland - not only that but the Glasgow-based Tartanpodcast launched in March claims to be the top-ranked music podcaster in Britain and has been featured on American podcasts!

Many congratulations! There’s a wrap problem on the website and it’s not my kind of music, but that isn’t important. (There’s also a directory of Scottish podcasts but the link doesn’t work for me.)

The BBC are also dabbling in podcasting. I have just downloaded the Radio 4 Today programme (14 minutes/4 megabytes) and Roddy Maclean’s “Letter to Gaelic Learners” from Radio nan Gaidheal is also on offer.

It’s worth noting that you don’t need an iPod to listen to mp3 files. You can hear them just as well over your computer speakers!

Hi - you mention a wrap problem, I'm keen to get to the bottom of this - can you give me more info?

Cheers.

Mark,

Your text is appearing one line superimposed on top of another. I've tried it in three different browsers and it is all the same. I'll send you a screen shot by email.

I am not sure what software you are using. Is it a blog?
