The View From The Swamp (aka The Bogcast) is a weekly podcast
dealing with politics on both sides of the Atlantic.

I am a Liberal. You have been warned!

2) Links
I used to put quite a lot of effort into adding live links to the podcast which you could view and click in the Artwork window in iTunes. However, as from August 2007 there will be just one link available in the artwork window of iTunes, which will take you to a page of links that I have collected over the week prior to the episode's release. These links may cover subjects not touched on at all in the podcast, and indeed may represent opinions with which I profoundly disagree. They are just a list of interesting links from the previous week's political news - and sometimes a little light relief or non-political stuff that is either amusing, diverting or otherwise noteworthy.

3) Formats
The podcast is distributed as an .m4a file, which iTunes and iPods will automatically play and recognize, so to listen on some portable devices you may have to convert to .mp3, and of course, you will loose the link.

4) Stuff
The Bogcast is recorded at my home in Gloucestershire, England and is basically my view of the world as it appears to me from my bucolic location. I only have access to the same sources of information that anyone else with a computer and an internet connection enjoys - I am not a reporter and have no special "sources".
