Not all of us have motormouth qualities. Nor have the ability to line up a disc and talk over the intro and right up to the vocal before shouting "That's all at the new all-hits 107.4 Beaver FM!" At gadgetshop HQ, we're happy to listen to Jeremy Vine without any desire to be him. Or sound like him, for that matter.

So now, rather than a course of cognitive behavioural therapy for people who want to become Jeremy Vine, the fiendishly clever chaps at Ion have invented a clever all-in-one podcasting gizmo that connects via USB to one's computer and turns your back bedroom into Radio 1's Live Lounge at the click of a mouse.

Now, Podcasting is no longer the domain of the broadcasters and newspapers. Armed with a bit of high technology - in the form of a high quality microphone (complete with desktop stand), a pair of headphones, some nifty editing software and a subscription to a hosting provider, you're all set to let the world hear your innermost thoughts, rants and raves, direct from the bowels of your PC. And may God help us all.

Making yourself heard has never been easier - and, with this hosting-inclusive package, there's even a ready way to access a mass audience around the globe, and commune with like-minded podcasters the world over. And all without a wireless radio set in sight.
