YouTube for the Podless
For the non-Pod enabled, we’re launching a new YouTube channel which will eventually house all the files we have on this Podstation. We hope you enjoy this new service which will allow you to enjoy all of our content online. Another way in which the PodSquad endeavors to provide classic festival moments to the community at large. Enjoy.
We are also putting these videos on iFilm, MySpace and Google Video as well as pix on Flickr.
