Do I need iTunes© and an iPod© to transfer the podcast to a portable mp3 player?

No, you certainly do not. iTunes© is Apple's podcatcher and iPod© is Apple's mp3 player. They are brands not technologies.

I have a band, will you feature my band in your podcast?

If you would like to direct me to a sample of your music, I will certainly listen to it. I am always looking for new bands to get into. I cannot make any guarantess, however. Please do not send me huge files, just point me to your music. Thanks.

Do you make money from your podcast?

I do not. I make no money from the site nor the podcast. I do it as a hobby and it costs me money to do so.
