Announcing a new feature on Slow Travel - Podcasts!! We have added sound to the Slow Travel community!
www.slowtrav.com/podcast/This was a joint project with me and Nate from Internet Brands (thanks Nate!!)
The interviews are an MP3 file - playable in Quicktime or Windows Media Player (whatever you have setup on your computer). Also in iTunes.
You can listen to them online. Click the interview name and you hear the podcast immediately.
You can download them to listen to later. Right click and save the file to your computer.
You can subscribe to the RSS feed - Nate set up links for standard XML, Add to Google, My Yahoo and Technorati. He also gave us instructions for subscribing through iTunes (I tried this and it worked well).
---------------------------------------------------
We are aiming to have one a month (more if possible). Interviews with Slow Travelers and people who run travel businesses. On the spot reporting by travelers on their trips. Mini-interviews at GTGs.
I will be doing some of the interviews and some of the other mods will also. Colleen, Kim and Shannon are planning a podcast from Paris next week!
If you would like to create a podcast, email me (pauline at slowtrav dot com). If you create the audio file and don't have editing software, I can edit it for you.
I am hoping to do more interviews in person or by phone. If you would like to be interviewed, email me.
If you have Podcasts suggestions, post here with your ideas.

Our first Podcast is 20 seconds of cowbells on a hiking trail in Switzerland! Okay, that one was just a test.
Our first REAL podcast is Pauline interviewing Diana from
Baur B&B! A 13 minute interview done last month when Steve and I spent a night at Baur B&B on our way to Assisi. Diana talks about running the B&B and about her corner of the Piedmont.
