W9:T21: Half Man Half Toaster Pastry

I had a look at the podcast directory site Podcastalley.com and did another search for "Flight of the Conchords". The top entry entitled "Half Man Half Toaster Pastry" http://hmhtp.podomatic.com/rss2.xml which promised that "Our Music Will Make Sweet Tender Love to Your Ears" seemed to relate - but the rest of the links it brought up all seemed to be aviation-related ... so perhaps not!

Did the same search on the podcast directory site Podcast.com and got a different listing that seemed more relevant and to be more orientated towards video (as opposed to audio) clips than the previous site. There was a collection of FotC links grouped together under one link. The podcasts turned out to be video clips and led me to the official HBO site for their recent series where video blogs from their (fictional) fan Mel were archived, among other behind the scenes footage.

Podcasts remind me very much of YouTube, but without one dominating site and and generally with more of a focus on audio clips. I actually think the podcasts are more useful, as many TV/Films come out on DVD, whereas previously radio interviews and the like were limited to one-off performances.
