Bible completed!
Today we podcast the last chapter to complete the whole Bible! After nearly four years of work, starting with 300+ volunteers reading the whole Bible live over Labour Weekend in 2005, and continuine with teams brainstorming ideas for something to Think about, Pray about and Do for each chapter the daily podcast series is complete.
We will continue to provide a daily chapter, but the whole Bible is now available to download chapter-by-chapter. We have begun work on a couple of new projects to develop PodBible further.
First we are packaging chapters to make 60 minute collections (book by book) so that people can download these "Bible60" collections to put on CDs, tapes or their car radios to listen to longer swathes of Scripture (with no TPDs added).
Then we are working to make the daily podcasts available in AMR format (much smaller files than the MP3s we podcast here) for download to mobile phone... news of a launch soon we hope :)
By ther way if providing Bible readings to more than a thousand people a day sounds worthwhile to you maybe you could help by taking a share of the regular tasks needed to run the podcasts, with a little training we can provide, anyone who is moderately computer literate could do what is needed in less than an hour a week... write to Tim to get more details...

Surely I can't be the only comment to date. I'm just getting started on podcasts - is this for real? I hope so - I would love the entire Bible available on podcast. Also, the ideas mentioned are very good ideas and I hope they come to fruition. Thank you for doing this.

It's for real, most of it is available now :) The whole Bible is available :) There were a few more comments on Facebook, but we are currently still a small "community" :(
