It Is Now Acceptable to Wear Your iPod in the Museum

Sir John Soane's Museum — the architect's former home in London — is now offering a free podcast guide that it claims is the first of its kind (according to the Guardian). This sounded suspicious. A little iTunes reconnaissance revealed a number of museums (and at least one art fair) that podcast tours of exhibitions — maybe the Soane Museum offers this first podcast tour of a house? No matter. It's a great idea. In my queue: podcasts from past Frieze Art Fairs, including "Good Taste? Bad Taste?" and "Radical Chic: The marketing of culture, the culture of marketing."
