It's that simple.How much does it cost?$0.00 (And that is in Canadian dollars... the conversion to Euros is... 0.00)In FACT they PAY you--$50 for the first 10 episodes, and pay per download after that. How cool is THAT?NEXT RELEASE: Codename: "Tokyo" ETA 10 Sept 07===================================How cool is this? My son and I are thinking it might be a great way to make our football conversations a bit more interactive, and get more people involved. Really helps us connect with the audience. That CAN'T be a bad thing!How can I use this in education? Imagine a "virtual study group" hosted through podcast--where students can call in and ask questions, and the professor can answer.How about a call in show to leaders in Supply Chain? Wouldn't you love a chance to pick the brains of the movers in logistics and supply chain?Again, how cool...
