Welcome to our first podcast at technologyreview.com -- appropriately, we think, it's about podcasting.

Basically, this podcast is a 27-minute audio file created by our Westcoast senior editor, Wade Roush (who admits to being a "complete amateur" at podcasting).

To listen to it in your browser, right now, just click the play button in the audio-looking graphic below (it's the small middle triangle).

Whatever way you choose to access it, just be sure you have speakers or headphones ready to listen.
 
For the first five minutes, Wade introduces the concept of podcasting -- what it is and isn't. Then he speaks informally for around 20 minutes, about key websites, open-source products, and the steps he chose to create this podcast. Wade also demonstrates some music and sound effects in his podcast, while discoursing about the field of podcasting -- its key phrases, fun features, and future possibilities. 
 
As with any audio recording, you can pause it at any time and resume it later. Click and enjoy.
