Australia's Radio National Begins Podcasting Trials
May 13, 2005
Australia's Radio National has began a trial of using podcasting. For the next month, RN will be providing MP3 downloads and podcast feeds from several of their programs.
Some files will be an entire program, while some will be a selected segment. The audio in the podcast trial is in MP3 format.
Audio downloading gives Radio National the potential to reach listeners in new ways. It also allows listeners more control over which programs they hear, when, and even where. The trial is to explore the effectiveness of podcasting for the many different types of programs Radio National broadcasts.

The head of the ABC's podcasting trial says the service is here to stay.
The project, which commenced in May and offers 16 ABC radio programs for download, has been a "spectacular success", said Radio National Program Director and podcasting guru Gordon Taylor. He's ready to declare the trial over.
"We quickly realised it's the future. It's a permanent service now," Taylor told ZDNet Australia . "It was just such a success we didn't need to keep trialling it. We've come to realise that a large part of the future of the radio lies in podcasting."
