Podcasts in Finland?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Phil @ 12:28 pm
 

Has the podcasting wave hit Finland yet? Can you find any decent podcasts in Finnish? Do any of the radio talk shows release their programs in podcast form?

Do any of you listen podcasts? Do you have any favorites you’d like to share? Any thoughts on the future of podcasting?

  1. Samuli over at D?¤g?¤d?¤g?¤ did some podcasts titled ??lyvapaa Blogistan in 2004. Some of the newer ones include Rantaradio from N?¤kymi?¤ rannalta and dotKommuuni.com’s first podcast broadcast.

    As far as I know, Radio Helsinki is the only Finnish radio station that offers some of it’s spoken programs for download.

    I’m not quite sure about the quality, but other podcasters include D?¤g?¤d?¤g?¤’s Samuli with ??lyvapaa Blogistan (couldn’t find the audio files from early 2004), Rantaradio from N?¤kym?¤ rannalta and the first podcast broadcast from dotKommuuni.

  3. Oh, sorry about the double-posting… The first one didn’t seem to appear on the site so I thought it had something to do with comment spam filters or my original alias and posted again.

    Sorry. ;)

  4. What’s a podcast! Oh, I guess it has something to do with that iPod picture, which loaded very slowly.

    I’m pretty sure that also YLE offers some programs for download somewhere in its web site jungle. Well at least you can download YLE’s stream content, if you know the right tricks.

  5. A podcast is basically a recording of a radio show or program which can be downloaded into an iPod for later listening. Don’t know about Finnish podcasts, but Mac OS X users should check out iPodderX, it’s fantastic and offers over 3000 podcasts. For general audio stream recording I’d recommend WireTap.
