BCS, the 58,000-member “professional body for those working in IT,” today announced the debut of its podcast, the charmingly titled oddIT. The weekly podcast discusses interesting, funny, and strange IT stories from recent headlines.

“Listen to the podcast in its pre-award winning days,” quipped managing editor Brian Runciman. “The idea is to show that IT is more than just spreadsheets and C++. It can be amusing, engaging, life changing and earth shattering.”

The podcast fits in with British Computer Society President Nigel Shadbolt’s mission for more public engagement from the BCS, who hope to draw more people to the society as a result.
