Thanks Matt, that explains it well.  So, if we create a podcasting forum (I guess we will be able to do this with 1.6), then users can subscribe and get the mp3s from the forum automatically in some program--similar to getting a regular forum post via email, right?  (And then, I assume, someone could save them as mp3s to a portable player of some sort if they wanted--like an ipod).

And iTunes is one such "podcasting" program.  Although, I do like the looks of the ipodderX program that you  mentioned Harry.  I'm wondering what program will be to podcasts as Acrobat Reader is to pdfs, and Macromedia Flashplayer is to swfs. I'm assuming that most of my users will not already have a program on their computer that can handle this (as opposed to an email program, which most everyone has) and will have to download something.

And thanks, Mark for the tip about the block--and a look at your site.
