I like to listen to the Presidential Weekly Radio Address no matter who's in office so I created a podcast of the Weekly Presidential Radio Address and other Presidential clips so you can easily get the President's weekly speech onto your computer or MP3 player. It seemed like a good idea to make it into a podcast so I could take it with me and share it with others.
