“Science and technology news provider New Scientist has begun testing a podcasting service, with the intention to include audio adverts.
The first edition of the 9-week podcast pilot will be available for download on 4 November. Each week, listeners will be able to access a 15 minute podcast available to download onto their mp3 player or onto their desktop to listen via a media player.
New Scientist podcasts will be available to download on NewScientist.com as well as via podcasting sites such as iTunes.”
