Podcasting survey says...
Audio programs known as "podcasts" are catching on with people who own iPods or other digital-music players. Podcasters create radio-like programs of commentary, music or humor, which are saved in MP3 audio format and posted online. - Reuters
From the survey results:
- 29 percent of U.S. adults who own MP3 players say they have downloaded podcast programs from the Internet
- this means that more than 6 million people are listening to a form of communication that emerged only last year - Nearly half of digital-music player owners younger than 29 years old have tried out podcasts, compared with 20 percent of those 29 or older
- There were no differences between men and women, or broadband and dial-up users

Once again you're on the cutting edge. If I had a portable mp3 player I might be tempted to keep up with a few podcasts but since I'm stuck at my desk it's not as appealing.
Things change rapidly, though. The whole podcast thing can be sort of like satellite radio in that every damned thing you want to talk about isn't being picked apart by the FCC.
