Base format crisis

So I've been sweating bullets since the prototype. It's obvious that the format at the center of this project has to carry the weight of holding this whole thing together. The podcasts can reinforce and enhance that, but not represent the body of the presented material. As I've been exploring podcasts, I came upon this guy, Matt I presume, who does "Matt's Today In History." He has a blog, but he also has podcasts & RSS feeds. The sound is quite good and he has the voice of a radio man; not all announcer-y or NPR stilted. I'm envious. It seems like a pretty nice way to go about it. But he doesn't use pictures. (He also hosts his RSS at a place called hipcast.com, which costs $$, but is interesting nonetheless.)
The blog is appealing because it makes the html publishing so much easier. While that may be a bit of a plus for me, I am trying to frame a model that may be used, in a piecemeal or ala carte manner, by much less technical instructors. I'll put a few graphics in this and see how it looks.

Hmmmh. Well, I can drag them around and WYSIWIG them better than I thought. If I were going to use a podcast that wasn't at the Apple Store, I guess I would just link it from hipcast.com or just a web server somewhere. Unless...

Nah, I can't use the graphic upload function to sneak my podcast up here - I get an error. I can't log into my csumb accts on either home or myspace, so I'll have to try that later, much to my chagrin.
