Odiogo, Podcasts, and iTunes

Six weeks ago, Odiogo launched a new, free service which will convert your blog text to audio and then broadcast the audio of your blog as an Internet radio broadcast, commonly called a podcast. This isn't exactly new, but what extends this interesting service even further is a new agreement with iTunes. ANY blogger can now have their blog postings converted to audio for free, and the audio podcasts will show up available as a subscription on iTunes.

This means I can subscribe to Eastman's Genealogical Newsletter on my mp3 player and listen to his newsletter postings as I drive to work--even before the newsletter is sent to my email! Yes, Dick has already jumped on the bandwagon and his newsletter is odiogo-ized. I can have my own blog postings converted to audio and set up my own "Internet radio channel" for others to follow my ramblings (I know, who would want to...?). The text to speech converter is pretty good, too.

Exciting.
