Straits Times caught the podcasting bug...

ST podcast
There you go... the mainstream media in sunny island Singapore has actually caught the podcasting fever and has started a podcast. Unlike the SDP one, this is an actual podcast complete with RSS feed. So, it's true blue podcasting for you eh? At least they got the tech right. The first few podcasts are all about the National Day rally. Most of the files are reproduction of PM Lee's rally speech. Nothing really interesting there. I'd rather listen to Adam Curry than the PM Lee speech again... once is enough, I reckon.

Anyway, what is more interesting is the upcoming podcast where some journos will analyse the Rally. Wonder what they are gonna say... Also, I doubt this podcast will be a long term thing, probably it's only for the National Day Rally.

On other podcasting front, Dr Chee actually went on The Pilot'n'Jo show for an interview. I've it loaded on my iPod but have not heard it yet. Wonder if he's gonna say anything silly, like he did on his own "podcast" on the SDP website. Not that he actually said humourous stuff, but his arguments are just plain "funny", if you know what I mean. A video of that will be up soon too. Can't wait...
