Ran across an interesting article from ComputerWorld that is worth a read: http://blogs.computerworld.com/dont_listen_to_podcasts_heres_what_youre_missing
Mike, you hit the nail on the head when you said, “Podcasting is the most underappreciated, underutilized media ever. Some people never try it. And many who do wind up giving it up unimpressed. Too bad. A new study found that students who listen to lectures on podcasts test better than those who listen in class. Podcasting is a powerful educational medium, second only to books, in my opinion. But unlike reading books, you can listen to podcasts while doing the dishes.”
Listening to podcasts is as easy as looking for a book. Find one you like, there are plenty out there. Sure, there are “junk podcasts” out there just as there are “junk books”. You just need to sift though those to find ones you like. If you do happen to find one you like, let that podcaster know you enjoy listening. Not only will it give them a boost, but you will continue to receive great content though that podcast.
