Wow. Just ... wow. I know I'd pick you, if I had that control!
Incidentally, could you educate the digital moron? I have never really understood what a podcast is. Sort of like ... a digital talk radio episode, as opposed to music? Could I download and listen to a podcast if I don't have an mp3 player? My computer plays mp3 files, but I don't have a pocket-sized gizmo to carry about, so I've never explored any advertised podcast-y things. But I know I'd love to hear your 'cast if you get to do this!
Absolutely, you can download podcasts to your computer! Go to snapecast or to Snapecast, and you will see the link right at the top where you can download the latest episode. If you have the Apple iTunes program on your computer you can use that through the iTunes site, but you can simply download it as an .mp3 and play it on your .mp3 player.
Yes, podcasts are simply digital radio programs that anyone can create. I have come to really adore snapecast, which is released monthly. Very fun, insightful and creative (one of their regular contributors does Snape's voice, and they use him to hilarious effect--usually because he's sent them another Owl snarling at them for daring to produce this silly, stupid program about him. They do some extremely funny dramatic bits, too. I listen to and enjoy PotterCast each week, too. I have listened to Mugglecast, too, although I don't like them quite as well. Mugglecast and Pottercast have a friendly rivalry and have collaborated on a number of occasions on joint podcasts. Those are called Leaky Mug.
Anyway, do check some of these out and let me know what you think!
I stopped by to leave a comment for pegkerr and saw this one. Since I work on the podcast in question, I'll attempt an answer. :) You're exactly right that a podcast is like a web-based talk radio episode. snapecast started out with the concept that we'd be something like a goofy-but-serious Snapefan version of NPR.
You don't need an mp3 player to listen to any podcast. You only need a way to listen to mp3 files on your computer, as you mentioned yours does. You can even subscribe to snapecast and a ton of other podcasts on iTunes, if that's your preference.
I don't have iTunes - just Windows Media Player - so if that works for podcasts (it does for music files, anyway), then I'm good.

*snort* I'll definitely have to check it out! As I said, I've pretty much glazed over anytime anyone mentioned podcasts, because, until now, it simply didn't occur to me I could still participate when I didn't have an iPod (or any other portable music device). Yes, I'm that much of a digital moron, it would seem. :P But I look forward to exploring now - as time (and two preschoolers) allow. Thanks to both you and Peg for the info.
Oh dear, and I was nervous enough mixing Zille's for Ep10! Would you care to drop me an email (becca@snapecast.com)? I'll need to know what kind of music you'd like to accompany your words once it comes time to mix. :)
AS much as one wants to believe that Severus Snape is a good guy underneath the mean and inscrutable exterior, “Harry Potter’” author J.K. Rowling herself wasn’t too keen about the character when an interviewer pointed out the possibility that Snape is not such a bad guy after all.
The interview also focused on whether Snape had a crucial role in the novel and if he’d turn out to be the good guy in the end. Rowling said the readers may have mistook Snape as the overbearing teacher with a heart of gold even with the revelation that he was the “half-blood prince” in novel no.6.
Then again, maybe Rowling is taking her readers for a ride in order to keep them and the rest of the world in suspense for the final novel scheduled for this July, 2007. Until then, keep your fingers crossed.
