Rapid transmission of information is not the point of a podcast. Podcasts are useful where your eyes are already occupied, but your mind isn't: e.g. driving.

Those chair jokes aren't sofa king funny any more...
I think you need more than coffee. Slashdot hasn't had links like that for a while now!
Should we accord such freedom to a guy who took the law in his own Hans?
