How are you identifying location? Are you using the Podcasting 2.0 geolocation tags?

I keep being surprised at how many good enhancements are part of the Podcasting 2.0 specs.

The <podcast:value> gets (very understandably) a lot of attention.

But <podcast:chapters>, <podcast:trailer> and <podcast:remoteItem> are very usefull as well.

Yes, it's a mix of automated with human checking, which is important at this stage. A map raises the bar on the required accuracy. And yes, using the location:tag idea, with some other additions to the RSS feed.
