While we're on the subject of podcasts, I just came across a new one created by Paul Ayres, a m'learned colleague at Intute. The Intute service provides an online database of academic resources, and is part-funded by the JISC and the ESRC. Paul chats about recently-added resources, upcoming events, and provides the odd interview or two. Go, Paul! (I apologise on his behalf for the dodginess of the jingles...)
