Famous authors' books and feedback

I really enjoyed listening to the following pod- casts - it gave me insight into what the books are all about. It is also nice to hear the authors' views. They are worthwhile to listen to. 

Curtin University Book review: The Gospel of Gods and Crocodiles
Curtin University Book review: Flying under bridges

In my view, podcasting is the road to future communications. Users are becoming more and more dependent on this technology, and in actual fact - they may not be able to "live without it". Why? Because it is convenient, it is free and it is easy to download and use. The term podcast originated in the early 2004. According to  Wikipedia (2010) and the Oxford University Press, "the term "podcasting" was first mentioned by Ben Hammersley in The Guardian newspaper in a February 2004 article, along with other proposed names for the new medium. It is a portmanteau of the words "pod"— from the name of Apple's portable media player, iPod—and "broadcasting"".
