podcasts

I am listening to Dave Winers podcast. It's a very cool concept. I would love to try posting one of my own. The thought of having to listen to myself to check the file isn't too attractive to me. It's also a bit of a tough sell to get folks to download such a large file, although the podcasting software makes it a little easier. Part of the success of blogs has been in the way that they have a large presence in search engines. Audioblogs won't get the same mindshare from the search engines, as far as i can tell. Of course RSS enclosures and aggregators will make that job much easier.

The most interesting thing to me is that today commercial radio is so bad, that this clunky medium could really catch on.

Have I mentioned I want an iPod?

One more thing, if NPR or MPR would have podcasts available for their members I would sign up immediately.
