You too can be a podcaster. But will anyone want to listen to your podcast? Will Richardson ponders: "I can't help but wonder what anyone really got out of my droning on about my high-fallutin thoughts on the education world. No links to follow. No way to engage in the ideas. Nothing there that wouldn't work just as well in a blog post." And like any user-created media, the quality can be pretty spotty: "Most of what I've heard so far has been pretty uninspiring." Well, yeah. Welcome, as they say, to the long tail. But when we are able to get feeds of several hours worth of (what we think are) good shows, podcasting replaces radio. But that's in next-year country.
