NPR launches Mix Your Own Podcast tool
NPR has rolled out a new feature that lets you build your own podcast by entering a list of topics you're interested in. Once you've finished building your list, you can subscribe to your custom podcast by hitting the iTunes or Zune buttons. Or you can copy the URL for the RSS feed into your podcast aggregator of choice. Up until now you could subscribe to podcasts from NPR.org by selecting a radio program or by selecting one topic at a time. The topic-based podcasts include NPR news stories matching that topic drawn from a number of shows.
The new feature makes it much easier to find NPR content you're interested in. But I still wish there was a way to download entire episodes of Morning Edition and All Things Considered. With the Bryant Park Project having been pulled off the air this year and with Day to Day and News and Notes disappearing next year, soon there won't be any full length NPR news magazines available for download.
