Well it's indeed a good idea to use podcasting in such an informative way. I think this should be tried out and depending on the response received, it should be definitely well promoted. Publishing a podcast used to be a daunting task but with free services like RapidFeeds coming up... it's much more easier now. Even students can take advantage of this by using podcasting creatively. For example, students can publish their own podcast by interviewing one of the senior lecturer's in the university. I think podcasting is setting a trend on the web and it should be used constructively.
