The Houston Museum of Natural Science have made available some podcasts for the Mummy the inside story exhibition.

What is a podcast I hear you cry! Check out the definition at Wikipedia.

Basically what Houston Museum have done is upload 55 minutes of audio tour for the exhibition (nearly 40MB) to their website. The idea being that you download these to you iPod, or similar MP3 capable portable music device and listen to them when you see the podcast icon during the exhibition.

Of course since these are in MP3 format anyone can download and listen to them using a PC or Mac based MP3 player, without actually going to the exhibition, or even burn them to CD and listen to them in the car on the way to work!

The purist geek in me says that these aren't really a podcast as they are not delivered to you via an aggregator in an RSS or Atom feed. But I'm not complaining!
