RSS and NPR

RSS feeds for podcasts! yeah! like this from NPR:

http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=4819382

you can see when a new podcast is added and keep track of the ones you have already listened to. i can imagine a library using RSS for all kinds of updates to the public: tutorials, new books, schedule changes, special events, etc.

it is great to be able to check out regular information sources without seeing ads. and, i like that i can subscribe to a specific feed within a site. i don't have to see all of NPR if i'm really only interested in receiving updates about technology podcasts.
