I've been playing around creating a podcast (called [The Marsh
Cast][podcasts] for lack of a better name) of the kids talking. It's
been a bit of experimental learning about [rss] feeds, audio recording
and how to actually go about doing it.

The content isn't too exciting, but it's still fun to do and the kids
enjoy recording themselves.

I submitted it to [iTunes] so we could have a "real" podcast, and after
a bit of mucking around with the RSS apple added it. In the end I had
to use [feedburner] to make sure the feed was formed properly as they
rejected the one from [PodCast Generator][podcastgen] for some reason.

You can see the archive links at my [podcasts] page if your really bored
and want to hear me talking to the kids.
