Detour

In lieu of the traditional interview piece, this edition of Audible City serves as the official launch of the Gapers Block podcast (though an iPod isn't required for listening, only for looking cool). From here on out, Audible City, Transmission and other Gapers Block audio may be downloaded to your hip, white slab of technology for mobile listening.

If you're familiar with RSS and podcasting, simply link directly to our XML feed. If you're using iTunes, simply choose "Subscribe to Podcast" from the Advanced menu, and type in http://www.gapersblock.com/podcast/audible.xml.
