I've been talking for a long time about trying out this podcasting thing. Tonight I finally dove in. My goal: mini podcasts. You've got enough 45-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, and 7-hour (hey Up and In, I see you) podcasts to keep your whole day full, so I want to do brief, frequent podcasts that you can listen to during your smoke break.

So here it is, what I'm calling Episode 0 of the Beaneball Podcast. It is eight minutes, thirty seconds long, and it features me discussing the A's loss to the Royals and their upcoming game against the Rangers. You can visit that link and listen there, or you can use this direct download link to grab the mp3 for your iPod or phone.

There's an RSS feed here that you can put in your podcatcher. Assuming I actually keep going with this, I'll post about individual episodes here on the blog, but they won't have an mp3 attached, so your podcatcher won't pick up on them -- you'll need to use that feed specifically.

I do very much want your feedback on this. Do you like it? Is it stupid? What would you like added or subtracted? Email me or leave comments to let me know.
