Portland Tribune Article On Podcasting
An article in the Tribune today about podcasting features Tim Germer, the host of Northwest Noise. The story is a good introduction to what podcasting is and even points out how to get started, but I feel like it ignores some of the hurdles that podcasting needs to jump in order to go mainstream.
I feel there needs to be some higher quality high visibility podcasts that can serve as an example of the medium. Also, getting the content on the iPod needs to be easier (maybe with Apple putting an RSS reader into Safari that will make things easier on the Mac side). And finally, how long until the RIAA gets their panties in a wad about pirating music on podcasts?
