Update: Ben sent a link to this howto, which seems useful if you're a unix geek stuck in mac-land.

Ted Gilchrist makes podcasts using synthesized robot voices. It's… well… interesting.

See also RS3, a tool that combines RSS aggregation, automatic text summarization, and speech synthesis.

Recordings of the talks at Accelerating Change will apparently be available on ITConversations in the near future. The BloggerCon III recordings are already beginning to trickle in.

Here's a cool RSS2.0 scraper for iTunes playlists. I don't use iTunes myself, but I've heard people suggest this kind of feature before, and Olav has coded it.
