RTE move slowly towards podcasting...

National broadcaster puts toe in water and offers a small selection of shows...

RTE have begun to offer some of its Radio 1 and 2FM shows as podcasts. There is now a webpage on the RTE site offering a list of the current selection. These include 'Documentary on One', 'The Business' and 'The Weekly Ryan'.
However the selection at present is poor. Using iTunes, we subscribed to a few of the shows, such as 'The Saturday Show' and 'The Business'. The former only included a 'Best of 2005' broadcast, and the latter downloaded a show dated 1st February 2006, a few weeks out of date.
This is in contrast to Newstalk, Today FM and other Irish radio broadcasters, who offer their more popular shows online. Newstalk have a podcast for Eamon Dunphy's 'Breakfast Show', and Today FM offer Ian Dempsey and Matt Coopers' shows.
For more information, go to the iTunes Store for Ireland and click on "Podcasts". You can search for Irish shows, or view the top Irish podcasts.
