BBC Series Features Podcasting

This is a great program in general to listen to. The current one does give additional insights into podcasting from the likes of Adam Curry, the CEO of audible.com and others. You can also hear the program host, Peter Dey, expressing obvious disbelief and also a degree of frustration over the podcasting movement. Interestingly, this program is not podcast, but should be.

I echo the sentiments of "quantumspin". It's a bit ironic that an "internet broadcast" regarding podcasts is not, itself, a podcast.

I really enjoyed the piece and am glad that more information is getting out about podcasts.

I am amazed at the number of adults out there, especially those who are active on the 'net still have not encountered, or have glossed over podcasts.

I, personally, make good use of a podcast aggregator and download podcasts to listen to during the day, instead of having to be tied to my computer to get that news and entertainment.

Having said all of that, I HATE the idea of "business" getting it's hands on podcasting. Just look what they've done to radio and television. Commercials, commercials, COMMERCIALS! Unless you have some sort of subscription radio (satellite), you are literally BOMBARDED with garbage in the form of advertising.

I'm afraid that when "business" gets ahold of podcasting that the next step is going to be governments stepping in and trying to regulate "internet broadcasting". When that happens, it's going to ruin a new media and return things to a status that we, the podcasters have been trying to escape.
