All of that drug-induced spending propagated around while twenty different types of music coarsed through their ear tunnels like schizophrenic sewer water. Gluttony is a double edged sword, where 'sword' is more like a rusty butter knife waiting to be licked clean by the common filthy whore. Fuck, I love the holidays.

Podcasting is just auto delivery of media -files-, whether they are audio or video. Content is irrelevant. My old podcast was talk, my current is music only.
I think that distinction has to be made because 'podcasitng' is such a generic term.
When it comes to that content type, some people don't like audio, they'd rather watch something.. HOW they get it is kinda irrelevant, which is the point I'm trying to make.
Where 'podcasting' became a movement was that it was a distribution technology that was very easy for folks to get involved in producing. What ended up happening is that it became a massive landscape of 3420347987 shows of the same thing. (We need more tech shows, right?)
Even big media I think struggles. ESPN video podcasts have criticism since its not 'the whole thing', which I find painfully funny. Because all the hyperbole about a revolution and then THAT happens, it's comedy gold.
So in a manner of speaking it IS relevant if you have that certain level of advancement, but keep in mind, Google Reader is a step or two down the line. "Discovery" has already happened at that stage. The initial sell happened, and that's something that gets muddied by people trying to evangelize a medium vs. technology vs. brand vs. content. They all collide and fall to pieces of which consumers are too advanced or too novice.
Oh to be preloaded <3

I have little faith in standards, not when there is an advantage to walling it in... Brands on the other hand, people are aware of... Steven Colbert or Jon Stewart exist in a particular space, that extends to odd places like bookstores. We know what and how to access them, as well as CNN, Leo Laporte and others.
Adaptability is king, content and brand is really the crown prince. :)

I'd like to see a conversation about when content/brand jumps its original medium into other areas, how to build the ecosystem around it. Very much struggle with this as much of the competition in what I'm looking to do has to do with hardwired things like radio buttons or lack of openness on a device.

Heh @abiteofsanity i can make a 'podcast' and I can listen to it on two major video game consoles with a tad more work and barely any involvement with RSS, but yeah, good call. What the hell is that called? (And let's not have a 4 year debate about it, it's a rhetorical question). Just give it a brand name.
