Welcome back to the Podcast Guide’s Friday show from DailySplice.com. Today is Friday, and this is what we’ve got for you:

Tip of the Week:

Ever heard the term micro-podcasting? It’s basically like micro-blogging except for audio. While back, I wrote a post reviewing a number of services that let you micro-podcast using a phone. These services included:

• Cinch
• Gabcast
• GCast
• Hipcast

Cute Podcasters:

It’s a lot easier to have a popular podcast when you’re cute (which is why our podcast is so popular). This, of course, goes for video podcasts more than audio. Who do you think is the cutest podcaster?

The University of California at Berkeley offers an amazing collection of class lectures in podcast or vodcast form. Go to http://webcast.berkeley.edu/ and discover what a terrific job they’ve done. I watched about half the astronomy lectures. I was very impressed.
