Here’s a use for podcasts that we haven’t heard of before – the Pasadena Tournament of Roses is offering an audio tour (iTunes link) of the floats featured in the 119th Rose Parade today. The audio files were created to enhance the viewing experiences of visitors at Post Parade: A Showcase of Floats.

The free audio tour is the first-ever produced by the Tournament of Roses. It begins with details about the making of a float and provides info on each of the 46 floats featured in the 2008 Rose Parade, in the order that they appear in the Parade. Tracks on the tour are matched to float numbers, which are displayed on the floats at Post Parade.

“We are very excited about this new way for our guests to enjoy Post Parade and the entire Rose Parade experience. We often hear that guests want to know more information about the floats and our audio tour provides an easy way to do just that,” said Pam McNeely, Chairman of the Post-Parade committee.
