Hi Ellen,

Hope you didn’t have to pay any Steve-tax to download it

Just checked on my N95-8GB and it also only sees the first three. From what I can gather, the radio stations have to do all of this manually e.g. removing ads etc.

So it can range from 1 day to 1 month for a podcast to appear. For some strange reason the RTE Off The Shelf podcast isn’t even being released in sequential order and the mid December ones have only just started appearing.

By comparison, Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo on BBC Radio Five Live broadcast on Friday at 3pm and the podcast is usually available on Saturday.

Thanks for the tip on these fantastic podcasts! I have downloaded the first three successfully on my APPLE computer using itunes, but am unable to get 4 and 5. Are you able to download these or are they not available to download yet, or is it me?!

That’s great feedback, Conor – thank you! It was a lot of fun putting it together, travelling and eating my way around the country. And, in fairness, talking to people like Carmel and Arun, who are so passionate about what they are doing, makes it all very easy. Two more shows to go!

I’ve just listened to the first two podcasts. Fantastic stuff Caroline. Totally engaging, informative and fun. Immediately jumps to the top of my favourite foodie podcasts to join The Restaurant Guys.

…and I notice that, right now, on the front page of newstalk.ie, foodtalk is top of the list of their top 5 podcasts. Great work by Caroline et al.

I’ll be listening to the first few episodes on my way into Cork later!

Most MP3 players appears as removable disks when you connect them to your PC. So you can just copy the MP3 files over by hand. Media Monkey is good at automating all of this.

Thanks for the compliment, Conor! And for the information about podcasting – Santa brought me the smallest little Creative MP3 player and I’m trying to figure out my way around the whole podcasting world at the moment, including my own shows!

LOL, I just love your thinly veiled apathy for all things Apple, “If you have an iPod, I’m sure it’s all very similar.”!
As ever, so diplomatically done
Cool post, thanks for pointing out bibliocook, looks like a great blog.
