Re: Podcasts (used to be Re: Jeff Ball Returns To Real World)

**"Kathy Purdy" k*@gmail.com**

I was pretty sure someone who runs an e-publishing company would already
know what podcasting is, but I was also pretty sure quite a few others
wouldn't. Did I have the two he knew of? I'm trying to keep track of them,
just as I do with garden
blogs<http://www.coldclimategardening.com/garden-blog-directory/>.
Some garden writers aren't aware of how many garden blogs are out there. I
know of approximately 150 garden blogs and I'm sure there's others I don't
know about. For anyone wanting to sample the wide range out there, a visit
to Garden Voices <http://voices.gardenweb.com/> is in order.
