Melbourne Cup - the podcast

Melbourne Cup Day is the big horse racing occasion here - and a public holiday too. Rather than go to the effort of dressing up, Steven and I wandered down to Fed Square to inhale the racing flavour.

We took with us the trusty iTalk, a handy recorder that plugs into an ipod, to save the event for posterity.

And thanks to the joys of podcasting, you too can be instantly transported to this world of highs and lows, of winners and losers, of hats and fascinators.
