Searching local newscasts and podpeople

JP Butler reports that you can now use the boston.com search engine to find specific video reports and podcasts from local TV stations and podcasters - they've hired a company to transcribe them and then index the transcriptions. Do a search, then click on the Multimedia tab.

Note to Boston Globe: See how easy it is to link to something when you write about it? Speaking of which, would it have killed you to post a copy of the letter this story is all about?
