Although I tend to use iTunes for podcasts, I do know Odeo is a wonderful thing, and much more open in general. I don’t know how you could get more closed than iTunes, really, though Odeo plays nice with iTunes anyhow. Now Odeo does it again with a slew of new features. One is the ability for a contact to send a podcast straight to you. But the big thing is you can also record in the browser-based Odeo Studio, or do it over the phone. Odeo Studio had been limited to a few users, and now it’s open to all. Once recorded, your audio is pushed up to a page that you can then edit and share. Still no web services API, but they’re working on it, and say it will eventually be available. Check out the custom front page, recording, and more at Odeo, and get in on the action.
