I know it is important Bernard but I guarantee that even if you mention Digital Identities to the majority of techies, their eyes will glaze over.

That’s why I think this is a great podcast - Drummond really gets across the importance of Digital Identities and he explains it in a way that even my mother could understand (which is great ‘cos she was able to explain it to me later )

“I think the subject matter doesn’t sound like it will be interesting and this is putting many people off downloading and listening to it.”

– well now thats just plain silly, Tom. This is as important as Digital Rights, Online fraud, phishing and other areas that will become interesting when more and more transactions are done online, ROS, banking, etc.

It needs to be explained and brought to the people! This is one definate, accessable way that the uninformed can become informed.

Well done again.

Thanks Bernie - I have told many people that I think it is one of the best interviews to-date but I think the subject matter doesn’t sound like it will be interesting and this is putting many people off downloading and listening to it.

This was the best podleaders cast to date. Totally excellent and completely useful. It explained an important concept without shameful promotion of a brand or an individual which is hard to do when talking to most energetic personalities in any medium.

Tom,

this was probably one of your best podcasts.

I don’t know how you actually got Drummond, but it was really really excellent.

As I told you today, I have had to listen to it twice, to actually listen to what he was talking about.

I would, however like to see some other commentary on InfoCard, and how secure, good it is. I have no doubt it is good, but I would like to see some other input on it.

Anyway, it was an excellent podcast. Congrats once again.

Hey Rob!

You raise a good question and the answer depends, in part, on how you want to consume the podcasts. If you want to listen to them while you are sitting at your computer (XP or otherwise) I have a Flash plugin which you can click (the little speaker and play icons just below the Producer at the top of the post) and that will play the podcast there and then.

Alternatively, if you want to listen to the podcasts on the tram (instead of the radio - I recommend this as you can get far more targetted content in podcasts than you will find on the radio), you could always use the Windows version of iTunes - or, if you don’t want to use Apple software, you could use Doppler, Juice or NewsGator.

Tom, this is great stuff, and I really should be listening to Podcasts - not listening to them is one of the glaring deficiencies in my geek character!!

It’s just not part of my life right now (I listen to the radio on the tram to and from work).

For those of us who tend to have Windows XP in our lives rather than shiny lovely Macs, would you be able to point me to a good resource for managing/listening to podcasts? What would you recommend for good listening software?
