Apple Podcast Distribution Network
I recently revisited the quality of DJ Mix availability on the web, and was disappointed to see that BBC is still providing “Essential Mix” in stream-only format. However, it took just a few minutes to find that Pete Tong has a podcast.
The interesting thing is that he links his Podcast directly to iTunes, as if that’s the only place anyone would subscribe to a podcast.
Lucky for me, an ipod is the desired destination. And even nicer is that fact that the iTunes music store links to all sorts of free podcasts like Pete Tong’s. There are tons of DJ mixes in there which come up alongside results for commercial tracks. Apple iTunes is a powerful distribution channel for artists, and Apple appears to have opened wide for podcasters. It’s so convenient, maybe this will be the only place I look for podcasts from now on.
