poptimistsPoptimism Podcast
I am DOING this! But note no downloads/mp3s in there yet, but if you subscribe now, i very much hope to have something on there tomorrow morning - and hopefully more than a proof of concept - PROPER CHOONS.
Apart from anything else it should mean i take time to listen to all the YSIs dotted around here. If anyone has any submissions they want to e-mail then send em to poptimism.podcast@googlemail.com, i will also be downloading YSIs.
Trouble is I my "poptimist gatekeeper" rating is quite low, so if I'm overwhelmed with choice (which I think i am already) then my choices may be erratic. I think only 6 mins (10 at the very max) a week would be what i'd want to hear - cutting down tracks to the "most typical minute".
Feel free to point me at YSIs in the comments below, e-mail as above, and if you want to stress the "typical minute" do do so, or I'll take the first minute, unless I too get absorbed into the song and can make my own mind up from the first play!
Another future issue might be that of bandwidth - but that's something we can address if it becomes popular.
Just to brand the podcast I intend to start each one with freakytrigger's address, it'll be 2-3 seconds max.
**UPDATE** (again)
I have put up "podcast zero" with the tracks i had to hand - a "proof of concept" if you like to talk that way. From next week I like to think that we'd have slightly shorter extracts of a few more songs. We should also have a couple of "catch ups" of stuff that's been talking about over the last month or so. (eg I still haven't heard Promiscuous Girl!)

Aside from the fact that it makes you less likely to face legal consequences, it will allow you to cover a much wider range of tracks in the same time period. Moreover, as you said elsewhere in this post, the idea should be that people here a clip of something, are intrigued to find out more and end up going out to buy the record!
