Hey Potter People!
Let's see how much more I can write about this amazing podcast. See, this contest we're not talking about is still going on, so I get to rave more. First of all, have I mentioned that PotterCast won Best Entertainment at the 2006 Podcast Awards? I think I didn't, so that's another very good reason to listen to the trio. That just goes to show you that I'm not the only crazy one who listens to PC- we fans did the voting, and we did a wonderful job. Actually, those of us who listen aren't crazy at all. Or maybe we are, but think of how much fun it would be to join us? It's fun being crazy... but back on topic. PC has tons of fans- check this out. Not one of my regular websites, but it's worth mentioning. Not only that, but PC has tons of videos- some made by fans and some made by the trio themselves- on YouTube. I really discovered those videos only last night (I'd heard of them before but I never bothered to look at them) but they're awesome! Just another way to show how many fans this podcast has.
Anyway, last week Melissa shared with those of us who read the PotterCast Blog, that she's very annoyed because a lot of people spell PotterCast with a small C, which is simply unacceptable. Well, not really, but let me just clarify this: It's PotterCast, not Pottercast, people. I was supposed to blog about this last week, but I didn't get a chance.
The topic they want us to tell you PC-ignoramuses about this week is how we listen to it. Get this, it's so easy. I listen to PC on iTunes. I have no idea how it works on the other podcast catchers, but with iTunes you subscribe once, and then every time there's a new episode it downloads automatically- and let me repeat that it's free. So the new episode downloads onto my iTunes, I listen the first chance I get, and if I don't get a chance I download it onto my iPod and listen on the way home from school or wherever I happen to be. See, it's so easy. Now I don't do this, but there's also the option of downloading each episode by itself. And over the summer, when I was in the US at Savta's house, she didn't have iTunes on her computer and I wasn't going to download all the episodes onto her computer, I listened online. At PotterCast's site, there's a handy "Listen Now" button, which opens a player that plays PC online- similar to the player on my blog.
So that's how I listen to PC. I highly reccommend that you do the same. Or listen differently, if that's what you prefer. Just listen.
By the way, if by any chance anyone who reads my blog started listening to PC because of these posts, I'd love to know! I'd be thrilled, so please share that with me.
Now go listen!
Edit: In praise of the PotterCast Blog Challenge, I just had to mention that I really just realized right now that PC is none other than my favorite podcast. If there was one podcast I really look forward to every week, that really makes my week- definitely PC. I love MuggleCast, I love (in a very different way) the Sameach Music Podcast (Sameach Music is the company that releases most of the Jewish music I like, and their podcast previews it) and most of the other podcasts I listen to, but PC is definitely the best. Anyway, I heard about this blog challenge, and I would really have no problem raving about PC anyway, because I always knew I loved it. It was only when I thought about what I was writing that I realized how much I loved it. So thanks, for that, PotterCasters! Now let's just hope MuggleCast doesn't do a similar blog challenge, or I'll be in trouble... What's ironic is that I've been listening to MC for so much longer and I actually found out about PC from there...
