Podcaching

While searching through blogs on Geocaching we found a cool new twist to geocaching. It is called Podcaching. Basically this consists of downloading a Podcast with directions to the geocache. We listened to a couple of these that are done by Podcacher. It is a bit like Letterboxing except instead of reading instructions to find the cache you can listen to them on an IPod or a portable CD player. We are thinking about using this technique for a future cache. Our thought is to find a historic location and give geocachers a tour of the area much like when you visit a museum and rent the audio tour.

Podcacher also has a regular Podcast on geocaching. We also listened to a couple of these and were amazed at how professional the broadcast was. It was like listening to a real radio station. The quality of the audio was great and was combined with music clips making it even more entertaining. The discussions combined some of Sonny and Sandy's geocaching experiences, tips on geocaching, a reference to Walden Run (a New England legend) and even a phone call to Professor Geogeek on how Global Positioning works. All in all we thought this was a fun experience and expect to listen to their Podcasts on a regular basis. We highly recommend all of you do the same!
