Hi Ian,

Podcast is audio for a personal audio device (repeating the link above,
read this: http://tinyurl.com/ad39p). Podcasting is a
20-to-30-year-old thing. We want soaring to survive then podcasting is
important.

I assume you mean podcasts are for the 20-30 year old crowd. Hardly.
There are plenty of podcasts to appeal to 40 somethings, like me, and
older. Much of npr's programing is available for download as are all
kinds of talk, sports, and opinion (lots of opinion) shows. The sub 30
crowd is simply more reliant on their computer rather than print, tv, or
radio for news. Podcasts are an extension of that familiarity. Plus
many have ipods or other MP3 players anyway so the need to be near the
computer to listen is obviated.
