Well, I made an allusion to this in my thread on animals discovered since 1900, and have decided that I will make my plans completely known. I am working on creating a podcast devoted entirely to the animal kingdom. As far as I can tell, nothing like this has ever been done before. I have not published the podcast yet, but I hope to in the next few weeks. I have just finished editing the scripts of several episodes and should have about 8 fully finished shows to upload to iTunes when ever I get a website to host the files. Some info on the podcast. If life doesn't get in the way, I plan on having a new episode every week which is one reason I am getting about 8 or so done before I fully publish it. Each episode with focus on a single species or several closely related species. Episodes, apart from the 1st three shows, will be grouped thematically. So far the episode list is:
1. Tigers
2. Gharial and Tomistoma
3. Saiga
4-8 Rhinos
4. Rhino intro and White Rhino
5. Black Rhino
6. Indian Rhino
7. Javan Rhino
8. Sumatran Rhino
Episodes 1-7 are all written and edited, and 1-4 are completely recorded (I plan on getting the other recorded today after lunch). The next series will be on animals discovered since 1900, hence the previous thread. I am think about following this up with cryptic species (animals that have been recently separated into different species e.g African Forest Elephant, Kewel and Imbabala, and the 6-9 species of Giraffe). I am completely open to suggestions on further animals or ideas. The actual information will not be a cut and dry "here's the facts" presentation, but as much as I can make it a cohesive story about the animal, its natural history, evolution, environment, impact on people, people's impact on them, and even some pop culture references. If you can tell from my thread on Texan zoos, I will try and make it as humorous as possible, although that's really hard when talking about how there are only 50 Javan Rhinos left in the world.
If anyone is interested, I do need help with a few things like graphics and most of all web hosting. If you know of a good site that is relatively inexpensive to register a domain name and host the podcast, I am all ears.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the month!

I´m sorry to hear that.....But then again, how many people are actually using iTunes for education? From all the people I know it´s only me and my partner. We live in a world full of ignorants!
