The Globe and Mail has a good story from the Associated Press on ‘Podcasting’ lets masses do radio shows (Matthew Fordahl, Monday, Feb. 7, 2005). The story gives some history and describes some of the uses of postcasting. For more see iPodder.org.
Less than a year old, podcasting enables anyone with a PC to become a broadcaster. It has the potential to do to the radio business what Web logs have done to print journalism. By bringing the cost of broadcasting to nearly nothing, it’s enabling more voices and messages to be heard than ever before.
See my previous entry on podSites: Simple hypertexts for the iPod. iPods are spawing all sorts of multimedia applications now that they have critical mass.
