That's not really what podcasting is.  Podcasting involves people 
making their own little "radio shows".  It's all about this new, 
independent, not-quite-underground-anymore community that makes shows. 
  You subscribe to an XML feed and use a small client app to monitor 
this XML feed and download new "shows" as they are available.

It really has nothing to do with normal corporate radio.  It's *not* 
just a TiVo kind of thing for radio.

So, I would take this idea to suggest a podcast aggregator plugin for 
Myth, or more likely just an extension to mythmusic to grab down shows 
by monitoring RSS 2.0 XML feeds.
