I am hooked on podcasting after the introduction of iTunes 4.9!
I first heard about podcasting the second week of March 2005; it had only been out for a few months. I downloaded and installed a couple of agregrators and subscribed to a couple of interesting podcasts. I thought it was a great idea but, stopped listening shortly after, because podcast selection was limited and since I was so accustomed to using only one music player at home and work (iTunes), I felt it was cumbersome to use an aggregator...
Apple's latest release of its media software iTunes 4.9, now includes the ability to search for, subscribe and download your favorite podcast. Since podcasting's inception, late 2004, podcaster have established a pirate radio, public access kinda programing and a cult following. After the release of iTunes 4.9 the number of programs and listeners have increased tremendously. Podcasting has attracted mainstream media like NPR, CBS and Disney. Subscribers now have a conicopia of programs to choose from and can listen to them at their leisure. They are all free... for now.
I mostly listen to programs while digitizing maps on my work computer. When I am out for a walk or on a bike ride I'll listen to podcasts on my iPod.
