I've been reading Adam Curry and Dave Winer's blogs for years now, so it's safe to say I watched these guys hatch and develop the podcasting idea.  I listened to Adams first podcasts from the castle, good idea and I liked how he was blending technologies, but it didn't hook me as a user.  I understand that some people like talk radio, I guess it's very seldom that I have something that I do that I can listen to talk radio, for instance a long daily commute. 

On the other hand, I do like to listen to music when I am at the computer developing virtual microscopy software, or working in the shop.  My iPod or iMac running iTunes faithfully serve that purpose. 

Well, I think I found a podcast that works for me, not that I was looking for one... I stumbled across it.  I'm using the new beta version of NetNewsWire that has the built in support for downloading RSS enclosures, such as a podcast and hands it off to iTunes.  And I read about Coverville on another blog, (I wish I could remember where), so I decided to test NetNewsWire with it and it works, better than expected.

Coverville, I like this podcast (radio show), check it out.  

(You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast, just something that will play a .MP3 audio file such as your computer)
