Podcast Popularity Progressing Profusely

So it seems that podcasting is becoming so popular that even the Washington Post has heard about it. In this article (free subscription may be required), the Washington Post discussed how major corporations, especially Apple, are embracing podcasting. Is this a death knell for a passing fad?

Perhaps, although I think podcasting will be around for awhile longer. In the age of TiVo and bit torrent, people are going to want content on their time, not a predetermined schedule, and podcasting is the audio way to do it.

With the introduction of ever larger forces, the grassroots angle will be somewhat drowned out, but podcasting itself should continue to grow.

Politicians, heed my advice, as Tim Kaine already has, start a semi-regular podcast, you have a chance at some free publicity, some young voters, and what does it cost you?
