information out to the public,
podcasting has born.
Podcasting quickly spread,
and many would-be
broadcasters began to create
their own shows. Shows with
topics ranging from politics,
gardening, self-help and
gaming began to pop up
across the Internet. In the
months that followed, USA
Today wrote an article about
the new technology, and the
growth continued. In June
2005, President Bush became
a podcaster, as his weekly
radio address was posted on
the Internet. Traditional
broadcasters and news outlets
have also embraced this new
form of media. The British
Broadcasting Corp. posts
many of its radio programs
and news-based shows on the
Internet for download.
Former cast members of the
extremely successful call-in
technology program “The
Screen Savers” also began a
podcast in 2004. Since its
inception, “This Week in
Tech” has become one of the
most popular and respected
podcasts. Many consider the
program the reason for the
increased popularity of
podcasting.
Radio programs are not the
only interesting idea to come
from this venture.
Musselburgh Grammar
School in Scotland is the first
noted school to use
podcasting to help students
with homework for a foreign
language course. The latest
NASA Space Shuttle mission
lays claim to broadcasting the
first podcast from space.
Religion has also embraced
the concept, with sermons
from various churches around
the world available for
download. Politics.has found a
way to use podcasting, as
various U.S. senators have
begun to capture their weekly
radio broadcasts for
download.
At first, podcasting was not
officially supported by Apple,
but as of June 2005, Apple
began supporting the venture
by adding a “podcast” search
string for its MP3 music
program, iTunes.
Search Google these days
and you will find thousands
of Web sites showcasing
podcasts and even several
“how-to” sites for getting
started. You can get a podcast
started by using various.
recording technologies and
programs. It should be noted
that an iPod is not required to
listen to podcasts. Any music
software or MP3 player
should suffice.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Allow yourself to be sweet
talked into doing what you know
is best. That isn’t cheating — it’s
charming.
TAURUS Gather up all the loose
odds and ends. The puzzle is
fitting together. Celebrate by
surrounding yourself with people
you love.
GEMINI You don’t have to pay
big money to go with the latest
trends. You can learn how to do
it all by yourself. How hard can
it be?
CANCER The next two days can
be quite profitable — if you play
your cards right. Start by knowing
it’s OK to get more than you
need.
LEO By now you should have a
different perspective. From here,
you can see more ways to serve.
Do that and prosper.
VIRGO Pay back a debt, and
someone else will return the
favor. What goes around comes
around.
LIBRA Your popularity tends to
interfere with your obligations.
Set priorities and do only the
most important chores.
SCORPIO Your patience and
willingness to provide pays off.
You could do even better than
expected. Accept payments at a
fair interest rate.
SAGITTARIUS Go ahead with
your exploration, but responsibly.
You’ll get much farther if you
provide the information others
seek.
CAPRICORN Cash in hidden
assets now, and bring benefits to
others. When they win, you win,
too.
AQUARIUS With the help of a
partner and a friend, you
accomplish amazing things. Plus,
it’s fun.
PISCES The workloads
increasing, with more coming in
every minute. You’re in demand.
Don’t let them take advantage of
you.
