Great use of technology #359

Well, there’s a new Battlestar Galactica series out, and it’s not too bad. Not the greatest, but certainly OK (I’ve only watched the first few episodes, along with the mini-series that kicked the whole thing off).

Now, it’s probably not the first show to allow this (though I can’t off-hand think of any show aired commercially that has done it), but you can download the first epsiode at their website.

Of course, you probably already knew about that. What you might not have known about is another thing they’re doing, called Podcasting (thanks again, Wikipedia). Basically, you can download commentaries by a producer from their website, to listen to when the episode airs for the first time (not a year later when it’s eventually out on DVD). Linky to commentary download page.

What a fantastic idea!
