Ironic timing on this news as I decided to take a rare break from Pandora (through Pandora Boy) this morning. I’ve been streaming XM Radio all morning for a change of pace: channel 45, which is Starbucks XM Cafe; it goes well with my WaWa coffee even if it sounds sacrilegious.Orbitcast noted that XM recently appeared in the Podcasts section of iTunes and sure enough, I see nine shows currently available for download. Now most of them aren’t music, although I see Artist Confidential there, which is a great show that I listen to regularly in one of its Country renditions. Opie & Anthony, James Carville, Barry Switzer and the illustrious Coach K. are all appearing for comedic talk and sports fans alike. Now if we can just get Apple to work a deal with XM to add just a few of their stations to the iTunes Internet Radio section. Doubtful, but a music junkie can hope, can’t he?(via Zatz Not Funny!)
