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

This page just gives general information about the podcast.

I am a Liberal. You have been warned!

The feed for this podcast and links for individual episodes is at: http://bogcast.blogspot.com

1) Subscribing
The Bogcast is free. You can subscribe to the podcast using iTunes by clicking this button: click to subscribe to my podcast via itunes (In iTunes the podcast is listed as "The View From The Swamp").

If you are using something other than iTunes you can subscribe by clicking the rss button rss podcast feed Using this rss button will allow you to suscribe via Bloglines, My Yahoo, your browser (esp. Firefox) or whatever.

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 http://bogcast.blogspot.com if you want to download individual episodes. Adding loads of links doubled the time it took and I wasn't conviced that many people were using them anyway.

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".
