[Speech|Watch]ification

Since I discovered podcasting I’ve increased the amount of spoken word broadcasting I listen to by about 300%. Now that I’ve found Speechification, I fully expect that figure to increase to around 500%.

A related site, Watchification points out TV programmes worth watching on the BBC’s iPlayer and other online video sites.¹

Now all I have to do is find the time to watch and listen to all this fascinating content…

1. I was initially sceptical about the usefulness of the online version of the iPlayer; whereas Windows users can download programs to their PC to watch offline, Mac and Linux users are forced to watch a Flash version of the programme at the iPlayer site. However, in practice I’ve found the iPlayer site remarkably usable. The main problem I’ve encountered is that not all BBC programmes are available through iPlayer, presumably due to licensing issues. ^
