A HUGE show this week, weighing in at 35 minutes. Holy moly, its almost too much rich creamy goodness packed into one show. I don’t really ever want to do a 35 minute show again. I like 15 minute shows. I’ll prove it next week.

This week:

• Openpodcast was down again (and then up again!)
• ITunes 4.9 out at the end of July
• New version of iPodderX
• GarageBand.com goes Full-On podcasting
• Audible still viable?
• Bad news for New York Times employees
• TV Guide podcast
• Freesound Project
• Some podcast envy, and a sponsorhip bargain!
• Scientific evidence that your podcasts can be much faster.
• An actual Rapid-Fire Review
• …and a new segment called “The Weekly Dave Winer Pick”
  featuring the Dave Winer Singers.

All that, and your feedback at the end of the show.
