Hi Douglas,
I am pretty new to podcasting, and I installed Ipodder and got it up and
running in five minutes. That's good enough for me. I don't always believe
it is necessary to have an "accessible" version. What makes it accessible
anyway? I feel that Ipodder is equally accessible, if you know your screen
reader. It is also free. It is good to have choice, but I think this word
Accessible is bandied about too much. It makes it sound like the other
programs are not accessible, and I don't like that. But that's just my
opinion of course.
All the best

Steve,
If by Accessible Ipodder you mean the free Accessible Podcaster produced at
the
University of Manchester, it is in an early stage of development and has
been made
available for those interested to try out. (If you are talking about
something else, I do
apologise - please ignore what follows!)
The object has been to keep it simple but still capable of doing the basic
things. I
suggested to the developer that an independent volume control would be
helpful if a
screen reader user wanted to listen to the start of an item before saving
it, and it was
implemented within about 24 hours. I intend next week to ask if the Save
dialogue can
be made more accessible in the next version, and I am sure any other
suggestions
would be welcomed.
Ipodder 2.0 is a much more powerful program, but those of us new to the
world of
Podcasts may prefer to start with something simpler.
