Galactica Commentary Podcast Available

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-isn't-that-clever dept.

Kichigai Mentat writes "Apparently SciFi channel is pushing the bounds of your average TV viewing experience with "Battlestar Galactica." First came a full, uncut stream of the first episode, now a full episode commentary podcast available as a Podcast stream, episode-length MP3 file for download, or invividual MP3 files for each "Act." The podcasts are released a week in advance, and listeners are warned about spoilers."

    Still sounds like a silly idea.

    Firstly you have to have an Ipod... probably a lot of slashdotters do... they don't seem to be that common in 'the big blue room' (I know one other person with one out of maybe 200 I deal with in a week).

    Secondly that Ipod needs to be constantly connected to the PC - which *completely* defeats the object of the ipod. The point is you load your music collection onto it then you're sorted unless you buy some more albums (rare for me).. Hell, mine has only seen a dock twice since I bought it.

    Thirdly it's not any easier than providing a web page with the MP3 files on it, except now you have to download some software to parse the XML first, then download it into itunes and sync. A lot of extra effort for no gain.

    How can anyone stand these Sci-Fi channel series?
