video podcasts - Democracy Now!

Recently I noticed how video podcasts were appearing in the iTunes Music Store podcast directory. Apparently the Wall Street Journal also noticed, as they wrote a story about it in today’s paper.

This is definitely great news for consumers and broadcasters of independent productions. You can now subscribe to Democracy Now! not only in form of a “good old fashioned” audio podcast (one year after the standard first appeared it is already considered mainstream) here or the video version here. If you have iTunes click on this link to subscribe to the audio version or this link for the video version.

It is notable that the video is encoded in MP4, an open standard Apple is pushing for. Now we need is a video capable iPod. Steve?
