   Was trying out some PODCasting sites yesterday. Found some interesting sites. The one i liked most is one Telugu PODCasting site which has some comedy audio clips. They are awesome. There are many English and Hindi PODCasting sites too. Yet to be explored. Here is one English(Indian) related site.
