BBC introduces iPhone-friendly podcast site

The idea of Listening to live podcasts on your iPhone is pretty awesome; I think it’s possibly the closest you can get to filling the void left by live radio. And the BBC’s just made it even easier to do by introducing a nifty site for navigating much of their audio content with an iPhone-friendly site.By firing up Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch, you can just head over to BBC Podcasts, and you’ll be presented with several options for navigating the BBC’s content in an easy to use, iPhone-style hierarchical fashion. Browse by channel, by genre, or alphabetically. Selecting any podcast will show you a list of recent episodes, along with a short synopsis of each, and the ability to hit play right there and listen. Obviously, it works somewhat smoother on Wi-Fi than on EDGE, though according to the BBC Radio Labs, the team at the Beeb is working on tweaking the setup for EDGE. But if you ask me, it’s a very good start.
