Podcasting - who cares?

I'm a bit befuddled by the podcasting inclusion in iTunes/iPod. I check out the itms and wasn't impressed by anything available either. So what is the big deal here? It seems more like radio shows you can download. Am I wrong?

I don't know. I just feel like it is a whole lot of wooby-jooby about nothing.

I tried it, and in all honesty, I wasn't that impressed. But that's simply because the material I wanted wasn't there. I'd make my own, but it's too much for too little.

It's a nice thing for the people who like listening to somewhat late radio shows, but I'd rather buy a radio add on to listen to the radio - live - on my iPod. Sadly, that doesn't exist.

There are a FEW good podcasts you just have to look around. But the majority I've heard lack. The one's I like aren't listed in itunes. One of my favourites is Poose Radio, hilarious. Personally I prefer the ones that don't include music.

and Al Franken is there. He's cool. But... I just listen to him on the radio, anyway, on LA's KTLK AM 1150.

Eh.... whatever.

P.S. "Wooby jooby?" lol

I think Howard Stern should put his KROCK show into Podcast form!!! Even when he goes to Sirius he should podcast as well for us who can't afford Satillete radio now

From what I've read, it's possible to subscribe to podcasts from iTunes which aren't listed in the itms.

Podcasts are fantastic. Hopefully with Apple's support the number of good podcasts will increase significantly.

Has anyone figured out how adding bookmarks to podcasts works yet?
