If you download it off iTunes and play on an iPod, you can now jump around to any song or segment of the podcast. The iPod even shows the name of the song while it's playing. To access that feature hit the select (middle) button 2 times while playing. 3 times brings you to the entire song list.
Enjoy!

Nice work Danny/Lady 'Verb. I'm looking forward to the Shigeo interview! Also kudos for including some eleki, especially some Sharp Five on the podcast.

Okay I just listened to the interview with Shigeo Naka. Wow, great job Ferenc. And thank you. I've always felt a great distance between us fans and the Surf Coasters because of the language barrier. I've resigned myself that we won't have him has a member here like we have other surf guitar greats. We won't be able to pick his brain like we can Ivan, Dave Wronski, or Ted Pilgrim. But this interview is a great step in bringing the band closer to their US fans. Just to hear him speak was very cool (even if I understood nothing). It was so great to hear his enthusiasm and laughter coming through loud and clear.
Of course I am quite proud of this website and the community that sprang up around it. But this podcast is another one of those magical moments in its history; one of those events that I could never foresee happening, something greater than what one person can do. Events like the members mp3 comp, the t-shirt, the first convention, and now this podcast are really quite special. I guess I do indeed have a lot to be thankful for.
The interview feature of our podcast is the greatest part. I think it really ties us together and makes us more of a community.
Thanks everyone for making this website such a great experience.

Yeah, I agree with that completely Brian. You can always buy the records, but to hear some of the greats in this genre in interviews is just too cool. Keep up the good work!

Here is a tip from LHR. If you are a windows user and don't want to deal with iTunes or QuickTime, give this player a shot:

I'm glad you all are digging the new podcast. All credit goes to Lady Reverb, she picks the songs and provides her own commentary. All I do is edit it all together. She's the best and I'm really lucky to be with her.

Brian or Danny,
Just to save me searching the internet - do you know a quick way of converting AAC (.m4a) format into standard mp3. I'd like to carry my computer around with me but I use a little pocket Mp3 player with no frills or Itunes - which is quite consistent with the rest of my personality.
Do you know? Thanks in advance!

All of the podcasts to date have been GREAT!
I'll be downloading #5 and listening to it as I drive to my sister's for Thanksgiving tomorrow. It should make an otherwise boring drive, a much more enjoyable one.
Thanks to all involved!

Well, I guess that would be me. I'll send you an email. I just tried downloading it from the site, and couldn't do it. Am I wrong, or were all of the previous podcasts already in mp3 format? I had no trouble with them.
Maybe this is a Mac thing? When I click on "download" all I get is a bunch of "alien text".

Rob, do you have iTunes? If not, are you averse to downloading it? How about the software Brian recommended:

Email me if you'd still prefer the mp3, but the enhanced version is nice, especially if you listen more than once.

Danny...I do have iTunes. (I'm on a Mac). I'll check into the software recommended, if it is Mac compatible, unless I can find a way to download directly. How do I get the download to go directly to iTunes?
When I click on the download link, I get garbled text.

Rob, try doing a "save-as" on the file from the link here. If you have iTunes you should have no problem playing the .m4a file.
Tim - just google "AAC to mp3" or "m4a to mp3" and you can find converter programs.
