The benefits of podcasting

I've recently discovered audioboo and I think there are quite a few benefits. I used it when I was working with a colleague on an LSIS project about 'supporting learners with language and literacy needs'. I found it was a good way to capture opinion quickly and in real-time. I have the app on my phone and this means I can carry it around with me and use it whenever (and with whoever - with their permission!) I want to; I can capture the moment as it were. The main downside is that you can only record for up to 2 minutes. It can be easily stored, managed and shared and these are good things.
