| Isn't a podcast some sort of mp3 file for download to listen on your iPod (hence the name podcast)?

From wikipedia:
A podcast is a media file which is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers...
Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital audio formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically, using software capable of reading feed formats such as RSS or Atom.

Really interesting, thanks! I'll be listening to these. And thanks to the person that decided to stick with MP3, instead of going with any annoying incompatible format.
---Edit.
The Izzard one was good, though many were the same questions. Awesome that he took the time to answer them. It was interesting to hear the actors' understanding of their characters from playing them.
The question I'd ask any cast member is how they wanted the character to be versus how the character is written to be. Minnie answered that, "There's nothing I'd change".
It sounded like it was recorded over the phone, which makes sense since they can do it remotely. Still, I'd really recommend using computers and microphones because it was occasionally difficult to understand even at 44.1khz 192kbps. At least normalizing the volume between questions and answers would help.
I think it seemed obvious that the cast members didn't want to do it, that it was an uncomfortable promotional thing. The formula caused part of that, with each actor saying "This is ActorName. You are tuned into to The Riches fan podcast interview. Let us get started. <question>" (Izzard broke that up a bit, fair play to him). I think a more Inside the Actor's Studio setup would help more, with more of a conversation between cast members or someone asking submitted questions as a proxy. Actors could have feedback from a writer for questions directed at the character instead of the actor, since those questions are uncomfortable.
