A podcast-ic idea!

Looking for some songs, podcasts and videos on iTunes last night, I came across an awesome -- and appropriate -- podcast to which I immediately subscribed.

Considering we've got a new chief executive who's seemingly a rock star, a candidate who turned down public financing for his campaign in favor of using the Web solicit funds, it seemed pretty fitting that President Obama posts his weekly addresses on iTunes — free and accessible for both the savvy young voters that greatly helped him get elected, and anyone with access to the Internet (or as his challenger called it, the Internets). Oh, and they're available on YouTube, too! Whether you voted for him or not, you've got to admit this is a great idea: A president using the most pervasive medium of our day to spread his message.

FDR began his fireside chats in 1933; his successors continued with weekly radio addresses. Moving forward 75 years later, it only makes sense Obama bring his message to the masses this way.

I promise, this is as political as I'll get here at "Sean's Space." Wanna chat about the GOP or gripe about the Dems, check out a blog like this one and go to town.
