Every once in a while I see a piece of hardware advertized as suitable for use with podcasts. Usually it’s just a microphone. But this is the only piece of computer hardware I’ve ever seen that was specifically made for podcasts!
I bought the Cast Grabber for $10 from Princess Auto in Coquitlam, in a section dealing with aging and near obsolete hardware. It looks like it came out in 2006 or 2007, and so unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work with the iPhone, the iTouch, or the iPad.
I’ll try to find an old regular iPod to see if it’ll work.

Kind of a cool idea, but judging from the review I’m not sure what advantages this model would have over just using your PC. $10 seems about right. I hope you enjoy it–whoever dies with the most toys, wins.
