PodcastingA podcast is a new way to distribute audio. Without getting too terribly geeky, a podcast is an RSS feed with an audio file attached (usually an MP3). The audio files can easily be synched to your MP3 player (even though its name suggests it, an iPod is not neccesary to listen to a Podcast!) or kept on your computer to be listened to at your convenience.

Over the last two years, the commission has looked at the many obvious and not so obvious ways transportation planning effects the state. This week, they will release their report and begin the process of asking for public imput. We'll talk about their work, their recommendations, and ask what you think they got right and what they missed.
