Finally, we think we've cracked it. So here is the pilot edition of mgsPodcast. It would appear that mgsPodcast is not just a first for the UK, in terms of being the first schools podcast, but it is also the first of its type in Europe.
There are two qualities of feed. If dial-up users need one that is even smaller let us know by leaving a comment.
In today's show:
News and Sport from MGS and a special interview recorded earlier this week in Poland with students taking part in the MGS geoBlog project.
In next week's show:
A guide to the school for new Primary 7 pupils coming up to MGS, created by current S1 pupils, plus the infamous agony aunt and more news and sports from around the school.
LISTEN NOW to the mp3 files, or save to your iPod by copying the XML feed below into your iPodder or aggregator software.
Higher Quality (5.5 MB - 12mins 04)
Download mgsPodcast1medhi.mp3
Low Quality (2.7 MB - 12mins 04)

Don't want to miss a show? Right-click the 'XML' button and copy the address to your Podcast application (like iPodder, for the Mac). Every time you plug in your iPod or MP3 device it will update with the latest mgsPodcast!
Bingo! Well done Mr Mac - it works.
Added to iPodder directory.

Well done - it sounds great. Really enjoyed the Polish interviews and I'll use them in S6 Soc Ed when we do the European Union and stereotyping.
Congratulations to all and good luck against Bellahouston.

Hi, great to hear a Scot's school podcast.
We have created a few much simpler podcasts at Sandaig Primary in Glasgow.
I'll be letting our children hear your shows next week.
