Don't waste your money, no one wants to listen to you - atleast yet!
Podcasts are becoming the "in thing". Well, it has the word pod in it, doesn't it. However, Forrester would have you believe that those pots of gold will be found in 2010 if at all, and you should not throw good money after bad for this. After all, why listen to stuff that is yammered about, when pages of this is already available after the net?
I believe there are other factors:
1. You cannot listen to it in crowded offices.
2. Podcasts are probably not readily and/or well streamed into hand-held media players.
3. People still really don't know about podcasts. You would think...
Some fads are hot to catch on, some are not. Especially, with the internet and handhelds, its only the "yung uns" that catch on sooner. And we are talking of a population that would rather watch "The Daily Show" and not real news. So, it will take time...
Till then, keep yelling into the microphones and upload all those mp3 players. Someone, somewhere, wants to listen to you....
