MySpace Offers Podcasts From Foo Fighters As Exclusive Content

From Red Nova:

"Online lifestyle community MySpace.com has expanded the kinds of exclusive content it offers its members.

Among the new features unavailable elsewhere are a podcast by Foo Fighters and a personal blog maintained by Smashing Pumpkins founder Billy Corgan.

In the Foo Fighters podcast, founding member Dave Grohl plays clips as he relates the making of the new two-disc set "In Your Honor," which is currently No. 2 on the U.S. pop charts. The downloadable audio is offered with streams of the first single and other items of interest to fans.

"Podcasting is probably more hype than people are using it, particularly since the majority is talk radio or bad talent, but it's a good fit for MySpace because of the personal connection," MySpace.com CEO Chris DeWolfe said."

Sorry to bust up the party but the My Space thing with the Foo Fighters is not a podcast. It's an MP3 file posted on a web server that you have to access through the web page. There is no RSS feed, so while it's an interview posted online that you can listen to after you download it, it's not a podcast!
