In just two days, people using the new version of iTunes have subscribed to more than a million podcasts, Techweb news reported late yesterday.

On Tuesday, Apple launched iTunes 4.9 , the latest version of the free digital music player software, that includes support for podcasting

And Neville also reports that Virgin Atlantic have launched a travel podcast site

Nevile says

You can subscribe to the RSS feed (which already offers 5 New York podcasts) and get all the podcasts in your preferred podcatcher, or download the airline’s bespoke podcatcher and segregate each podcast into discreet channels.

It looks like Virgin Atlantic is doing all the right things in their approach to using this medium as a complementary communication tool

Virgin say

[...] As well as telling you about the city and what’s on, a podcast will enable you to take your guide on your iPod, ensuring you get the most out of your visit. It’s an excellent companion to the practical and informative information that is already on the Virgin Atlantic site.
