Jesus built my podcast

Having kicked off our occasional series on organisations that have adopted podcasts with police "plodcasts", we're continuing with religious groups and their, of course, "godcasts". [We promise this rhyming theme will not continue, if only because "sodcasts" would be too unpalatable for a feature on gardening podcasts.]

Dozens of religious podcasts, in various languages and representing all the major faiths, are listed on iTunes. Even the Pope now preaches online.

Mark Shelton, the pastor at Cross Street Baptist church, Islington, London, passionately believes that podcasting enables Christians to spread their messages "beyond the church walls".
