With three episodes under our belts so far, we're having a great time producing the TechFlash audio podcast. If you don't check in on weekends, you may have missed this new weekly feature, so we wanted to catch everyone up on how to access and participate in the show.

How to listen: Subscribe in iTunes or Zune, for easy transfer to a portable device, or use the raw RSS feed to subscribe in the media software of your choice. We also post the audio directly on the site each Saturday morning, using a handy tool from Seattle-based startup Entertonement, and you can access the archive of past episodes on the site using our podcast category page.

How to take part: Call the TechFlash listener line at 206-876-5465 to leave a message for inclusion in the show. Reader comments make TechFlash a better site, and in the same way we're looking to make the podcast more of a two-way conversation, so we'd love to hear from anyone who has thoughts to share on anything tech-related.

Hot topics on the site this week include Microsoft's licensing deal with Amazon.com, and Apple's crackdown on risque mobile apps. Call the listener line to leave a message on those subjects or anything else.

Finally, some good news for the audiophiles in the audience: We've ditched our cheap USB headsets and invested in some higher-quality mics, so you should hopefully hear a noticeable improvement in the quality of the audio starting with our next episode, particularly if you're using earbuds.

Thanks for reading (and listening to) TechFlash.
