That's a great asset but I still can't see where you've hidden the podcast... Seriously, have you thought of a podcast, available by subscription through iTunes? I expect there's a few of us would even pay for it.

I agree with Mark JF. It would be great to download these and watch them during the commute.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mark JF. When I read "podcast" I think you mean audio. The audio section will be appearing soon. If you're referring to downloading videos - as it appears Brett is, I'll check into that (we thought they were, they may just be embeddable).

I agree with Mark JF and Brett. Provide RSS feeds for the multimedia content. Create one feed for the audio so I can listen to it as I drive to work. Create another feed for the videos, so they are downloaded and ready for me to transfer into my player and I can watch them on the plane. The hardest part of a podcast (either audio or video) is generating the content. Since you already have the content, there are lots of tools available which automatically update the feeds as you post the material to the site. It is easy for you and it is easy for us. We want to carry Tom with us in our pocket and share with everyone we meet along the way.

Jack,
At the present moment, the content we do have cannot be distributed via RSS feed (having more to do with agreements with producers than the technology). We're working on producing new video for the site over the next few months. We'll look into your suggestion, Jack, as it's exactly what we'd like to do.
