ach week, the Browser features some pop-culture places on the World Wide Web offering the coolest in free interactive sounds and action.

Fox in the Pod

Podcast opportunities routinely permeate the Web, and media giant Fox has taken advantage of the technology by offering its own lineup of audio content that can be enjoyed immediately or downloaded onto an MP3 player.

The Foxcasts (www.fox.com/foxcast) deliver more than 100 files from all of the network's shows, such as "Arrested Development," "Bones" and "Stacked," and give visitors a chance to hear about their favorites.

Unfortunately, the majority of the files are simply audio recaps of previously aired episodes. That does not mean the actual show is repeated, with dialogue and music. Instead, Michael Krogmann, host of the online series "Late Night Fox Show" (www.fox.com/lnfs), reads a synopsis of the show's plot -- and sounds drier than the Sahara.

Listening experiences can get much better, however, if one selects files with the word "extra" next to them. These offer interviews and a more original format than just boring story regurgitations.

The best of the extra files highlight the hilarious "Family Guy." One features a discussion with series creator Seth MacFarlane, and another pair present audio round tables with some of the production staff and crew that will remind listeners of commentary tracks heard on DVDs.

Also, visitors should check out the Fox All Access list, which includes interview segments with celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Pamela Anderson along with the music groups Green Day, Nickelback and Pussycat Dolls.

The Nautical Net

A free real-world science lesson arrives on middle-schoolers' computer screens through Windward (www.ciconline.org/windward), a sailing game that gives players the chance to outsmart the weather.
