Tom- We do have introductory videos available (including video guides to patching, as you mentioned). Please visit www.highend.com/support/training/wholehogtrainingvideos.asp. These videos are designed for an audience that is completely new to the Wholehog system. The formal training classes that we offer are the best way to get the more "in depth" information. The videos are a place to start, but they will never replace the live classroom sessions.
With regards to Podcasts, it is simple enough to provide them in that manner; however, having tested their playback on an iPod and an iPod Touch, I can tell you that most of the detail of the content is lost due to the small screen size. The 640x480 that I design them in seems to work best. There are other delivery options that we have discussed in regards to an RSS feed so that you can store these on your choice of portable media platform. If and when we find a suitable platform to do this, I will make a post on the forums. Believe me: I want to make as much training information about these desks available as possible, but I want to make sure it is done right (and to keep this information available at no cost).
With all of that being said, while I will continue to make more of the introductory style screencasts in the future, we are also planning a reformat of the style for additional future training videos. There are somethings that I just can't show you in a screencast. Of course, this takes more budget, so we'll really need to hear from the users out there that this is helpful and that you want more.
