Could have been a lot better
The concept is absolutely wonderful but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Even if you add the episodes into a playlist it does not play smoothly one after the other, you have to actively start every single episode. That's just fine for podcasts with a length of 20 minutes or more, but as these segments are between 1:40 and 2:30 it gets very tedious. I can tune out the jazzy intro and ending, but as their combined length is 55 seconds it adds up to almost 50% of an average clip. This combined with the playlist issue above makes it more fit for listening in iTunes rather than on an iPod, which makes the statement "If it's on your Ipod it is always with you" a joke. To be honest, most times I just read the podcast information as it is almost a verbatim copy of the podcast, sans all the annoying parts.Read full review »
