Th iTunes podcasts are the best thing since sliiced bread - at least for old f**ts like me. Since I am not addicted to Rock and Hip Hop as are most of the forum members, it is possble that the introduction of podcasts to the iPod through iTunes may bring more of the older generation to the iPod community. I see from reading some of the posts on this discussion that there have been some problems downloading. Fortuneately for me I have not had any.
