Radio and Podcasting

Richard MacManus published an article on ReadWrite Web entitled "Radio Killed the Podcasting Star," in which he says: "Podcasters are to radio what bloggers are to newspapers: independent voices taking attention away from mainstream media."

He takes an interesting approach to podcasting -- then and now -- and gives us a bit of history on the topic. He refers to Leo Laporte, The Tech Guy, as the closest example of a podcaster "star," and he walks us through podcasts and podcasters that have made an impact on the radio industry.

After having had the opportunity to experience creating and listening to my own podcast, I can certainly see the reasons why the stars of the field are few and far between.

Here is a link to the complete article dated August 06, 2012:
