Changing B.C. and A.D. to B.C.E. and C.E. is just dumb. Reading a little 'Franglais' is always fun.
I don't like how a lot of people do their podcasting. The RSS feeds they provide sometimes don't actually have a link to the MP3 file, so you have to visit the website to get the link - LAME. The good podcasters seem to include the MP3 link in the actual RSS post (as an item link) - allowing easy access to the audio, in addition to an RSS enclosure. I don't agree with RSS enclosures (attachments), because they are huge bandwidth hogs (each MP3 file is typically 8 to 12 MB). (I only want to stream the files I select, I don't want to download every single show automatically, especially if I'm not interested in the accompanying description.) The idea of having an item link for each item allows users to not have to mess with enclosures but still have easy access to the MP3 file, even with traditional RSS reader applications (not just podcast clients).
