spoke to reid at bbm.net who use to be my contact for free sound.

Email reply was as follows:

No, we do not have free loops there anymore. We do have free loops at
http://www.royaltyfreemusic.com/free-music-loops.html. Normally you would
need to purchase the loops to use them in your podcast (they only cost
$29.99 USD each) but if you can promote www.royaltyfreemusic.com in your
podcast I can let you use these free tracks in your programs.
Because these free loops are for demo purposes they have a little silent
audio after the loop sound. Edit out that silent audio to make them to loop
smoothly.

so there you have it. Podcast away!!

Building an m-learning community with free access

Che Metcalfe (Kukan Studios) gave an interesting presentation to the m-learning Learnscope team last Friday 15 June, at Adelaide TAFE on how to build an m-learning community using free mobile phone network access using Podmo (http://www.podmo.com/) – a free access mobile phone network offering local search, maps, content and free Instant Messaging all within a secure local community).

He described how TAFE SA could become a Podmo Free Zone where students could access m-learning content for FREE! Using templates, staff and students could easily upload and download content within any Podmo Free Zone (ie UniSA, CIBO coffee shops, Adelaide Railway Station, and hopefully soon to be: TAFE SA trial campuses (TTG, Adelaide, Regency, O’Hallorahan) Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre and along the Torrens riverbank.)

Blogging on the go

In reply to Kathy.
Blogging on the go sounds great but this particular service is a US only service at the moment. I think there may be some Australian options listed in the handouts that Alison Miller gave us in her intro to blogging. Don't ask me which one yet though!!!
I haven't looked at all of them.
If i find one as good as this i will definitely post about it.
