O-ops, I take my comment back: the specified URL works for Zune (must have been a firewall issue). So thank you, I’m going to listen to this podcast.

I love it!

I was never into PodCasts before but, you know I will be listening to this habitually! It’s like geeky crack!

Warm geeky regards,

Jason: Would it be possible to create a podcast URL that is not only iPod-user-friendly? I cannot make Bloglines or my Zune recognize http://feeds.feedburner.com/MUO-podcast (or http://feeds.feedburner.com/MUO-podcast?format=xml). This would be awesome. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that all that info at once may be a bit overwhelming. We’ll be playing with some different formats for the podcast to try to make all that a little more digestible.

As far as linking to Make Use Of articles from your site, I would say link to your heart’s content — but maybe I’m wrong. Mark, Aibek?

Excellent start and a great voice - I look forward to listening to future episodes. I love the website and the podcast extension is great - although I found that absorbing all the information (like the top 10 websites) to be a bit of a challenge if I’m not in front of the computer at the time.

As a suggestion for future episodes I’d like to hear - how about a personal review of a site/program that you use and why you find it so useful?

And I’d like to understand about the makeusof trackback system … I don’t understand how it works and if I am allowed to link articles from makeuseof.com to my website.

The “Official” MakeUseOf.com podcast URI is http://feeds.feedburner.com/MUO-podcast.

Feel free to add that to your podcatchers so you don’t miss Jason’s weekly show here on MUO.

Did I not mention it ? Sorry… Just so you know, I LOVE India.
I spent there lots of time and have an Indian girlfriend.

Make Use Of’s little tech gremlins are working feverishly at the moment to get the podcast on iTunes and to get a feed you can use to subscribe with any other podcatcher.

It would be nice to have a URL of the podcast RSS feed subscription.

Jason, you totally sound like the guy who speaks advertisements on AFN (American Forces Network). Is it a coincidence, is that you or are you just using the same tool to tweak your voice?

I love the first podcast, it’s awesome! But may I suggest to speak a tiny little bit slower for all the non native speakers out there?

I love it, sounds very professional, but are you going to make a different feed for the podcast? So I can add that one to my podcatcher?

By: Jason

Jason — Sun, 11 May 2008 19:53:15 +0000

Thanks guys. I appreciate the positive comments, although I’m prepared for the negative ones. I can take it.

And, Nik, I do a little voiceover, actually, but I’m always willing to do more. In my day job I’m a radio newscaster.

Wow, Jason, what a great voice! You should be doing voice over for a living!
