Looking through my referral logs for the past week I have made an observation that 25 people have arrived from google looking for RTE Podcast information. I wonder if they want to find podcasts of their favourite radio shows or do they think RTE is about to do a feature on Podcasting for one of their TV programmes?

I came here looking for podcasts of RTE Radio 1 but it looks like they still haven’t got the time. A podcast of Joe Duffy is my idea of heaven ;)

That would be nice, I’d prefer Gerry Ryan as I’m in college when it’s on and don’t get to listen as uch as I want to.
It will be another 4/5 years before RTE will realised that it had a massive market outside of radio. Where they could extend their reach by advertising in the Podcasts!

It would be great if RTE started Podcasts…I suppose its only a matter of time.
Shortwave broadcast would be best but RTE seem to have no interest in that one either

Start podcasting your radio shows please. The demand is there according to my referers list.

RTE - podcast please. The demand from the diaspora is there.
Comment by Kevin Naughton — July 3, 2005 @ 8:55 pm
Too bad RTE only broadcasts the TV news as a low bandwidth realvideo stream. Hope they podcast RTE radio soon !
Comment by Emmanuel Blot — July 14, 2005 @ 11:38 pm
RTE - podcast please!!!!

I asked RTE in Feb 2005 about podcasting RTE shows their is a huge demand from people working abroad, i work in a very remote location and this would be the bees kness to drive across the desert lisening to Mr Duffy……hope they will cop on soon.

I am living in Australia and have been for 5 years, my dream would be to be able to listen to the wonders of RTE’s Playback while driving in my car! It is the essence of the best of Irish Radio..
Comment by Sarah in Sydney — August 4, 2005 @ 1:14 am
A lot has changed in 5 years lol, hopefully they will embrace podcasting soon, the BBC has 20 radio shows podcasted and it would bring RTE more advertising opportunities wehn/if they realise that making shows podcastable that they will gain massive rewards.
Comment by Liam — August 4, 2005 @ 1:20 am
Ian Dempsey was asking what was Podcasting on his show this morning. Get in touch with his producer and offer to show him and the TodayFM crew how it’s done. They’re progressive enough with putting their gift grub sketches online.
Comment by Damien Mulley — August 4, 2005 @ 2:33 pm
Thanks Mulley for letting me know, be great to get them set up for the gift grub and have a special where Keano tries to explain it to the folks at home :)
Comment by Liam — August 4, 2005 @ 2:38 pm
Would love to have Vincent Brown or 5-7 Live as a Podcast. You’ld think that Today FM being hip would get into this sooner. As usual in Ireland we have to wait for the powers that be to cop on to what is happening elsewhere in the world.
Comment by Ciarán Bohane — August 7, 2005 @ 1:12 pm
RTE, so quick to deliver Real Audio ten years ago, are now behind NPR, APM, and PRI in the US, ABC Australia, the BBC, CBC Canada (click on my name for links to these on my weblog) etc just about all their international peers in fact.
Which RTE shows to podcast? Bowman Saturday, Playback, Best of Pat Kenny or G Ryan, Off the Shelf…any or all would be great.
Comment by Fin — September 7, 2005 @ 7:33 am
do you think RTE are the only one’s who should do a podcast?
Ever thought of private people podcast and see what they got to say?
Comment by Ralf — September 11, 2005 @ 7:30 am
I contacted RTE about Podcasts, apparently they are about to begin a trial. See email from them below…

Dear Shane
Thanks for your letter and your nice comments about our
online service.
Our initial podcasting trials will begin shortly, in
conjunction with our science series “The Quantum Leap”
(Thursday’s @ 8pm / http://www.rte.ie/radio1/quantum/)
The first few weeks will be a test period, before a
wider launch later in the Autumn. The programme will
announce when the trials will begin so you might like
to tune in over the next few weeks.
Thanks for your interest.
Best wishes
RTE Radio 1
Comment by Shane Quinn — October 12, 2005 @ 12:28 am
The Quantum Leap is podcasting from the end of this week, check www.rte.ie/radio1/quantum for more info!
Thanks
Comment by The Quantum Leap — November 10, 2005 @ 9:30 pm
my god, RTE are a bunch of…
search RTE for the word ‘podcast’ if you want a good laugh.
As for the science bit, the quantum leap have posted mp3 files ok, but they don’t seem to know what podcasting is..
According to themselves, they started podcasting in August:
“- 2005-08-22 tomorrow we’ll be podcasting the programme”
from http://www.rte.ie/radio1/story/1068435.html
However, they’re innovating by not using an rss feed or if they are using a feed, they’ve hidden it so well that I can’t find it.
RTE Lyric have an interesting page at:
http://www.rte.ie/lyricfm/story/1045397.html
Let me know if you can make sense of it..
Quantum Leap at RTE tells me that podcasting is great because it allows me avoid ‘wasting endless hours…’
Over the years, I’ve wasted endless hours trying to get RTE to do the simple, honest, progressive thing (like post their schedules in a useful format).. The hours were wasted because RTE people don’t listen to anyone except themselves and their D4 neighbours

The feed for The Quantum Leap podcast is www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_quantumleap.xml
Thanks
Comment by The Quantum Leap — November 15, 2005 @ 1:10 pm
no need to thank me, honest…I can slag off RTE anytime….
OK, Quantum Leapers, if you think that the comments about RTE are unfair.. Correct this one problem and I’ll eat my words:
At the moment RTE have a page entitled ‘How to Podcast’ at:
http://www.rte.ie/radio1/howtopodcast.html
I fully accept that there is no clear definition of the verb ‘to podcast’, but I think everyone would agree that this page the page would be better titled ‘How to receive podcasts’.
I’d like to throw this issue open to the floor:
What do you think of a web page titled ‘How to Podcast’, which does not describe how to set up a podcast?
Comment by paul wright — November 15, 2005 @ 11:43 pm
Update:
I think they’ve changed the first header on the page to ‘How to get Podcasts’, but the original thinking can be see on the page:
http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcasting.html
where on Nov 15, there’s a link titled ‘Click here to find out how to podcast…’
which links to ‘howtopodcast.html’.
Comment by paul wright — November 15, 2005 @ 11:48 pm
Update 2:
Just to report that RTE podcasting is now working properly and It’s fantastic.. I can now listen to RTE programmes like soundstories (http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_soundstories.xml) without having to tune in at a particular time or having to go to the RTE website and run real(sht)player.
I might complain about RTE, but I’ve got to admit that they’ve got some good program makers
I was listening to ‘in our time’ from bbc (http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/radio4/inourtime/rss.xml) when one of the scientists started ranting about how a ‘quantum leap’ isn’t a great jump, but is, in fact, the smallest change that can happen.
I’d like to use that notion to call on the quantum leap rte folk to make one ‘quantum’ change to the rte podcasting procedure: At the moment rte don’t publish the URL for the podcasts correctly. eg the QL program is given as:
www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcastquantumleap.xml
That don’t work for me.. I (and many others) need the URL as:
http://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcastquantumleap.xml
Note the addition of ‘http://’

A strange attitude for a podcaster to take?
Comment by anon — December 5, 2005 @ 12:37 pm
Paul Wright are you normal? You say this:
I fully accept that there is no clear definition of the verb ‘to podcast’, but I think everyone would agree that this page the page would be better titled ‘How to receive podcasts’.
Are you a total luddite? Since when would ANYONE be so boring and dull as to say ‘how to receive a podcast’. Are you serious in posting this on a podcasting blog?
Comment by Sophie Franklin — December 20, 2005 @ 3:04 pm
Sophie, normality is not a life goal for me.
I suppost most people normally use words to mean what they want them to mean, I like to think there is an objective definition for each word, I find it aids communication.
Studies have shown that most people don’t understand podcasting.. I believe that is because RTE/bloggers/techy types aren’t ‘dull’ enough to write about it properly.
Back to the subject in hand:Anyone notice that the soundstories podcast feed from rte doesn’t work?
