There is no doubt that podcasting is cool, just like tivo is cool. I am waiting for the day that Clearchannel swoops down like the RIAA and makes it much harder for it to work. They have a lot at stake.
Totally agree. Radio ain't dead. It's evolving quickly but there will always be room for original programming. That is why HBO is kicking butt- good editors, good writers, great programming (no I don't work for HBO). Podcasting is not radio-to-go - it is downloading an original playlist from a trusted source. There's no difference between podcasting or ipodding, only a different way of 'programming' your ipod.
Simply put, the vehicle through which one wants to hear the music doesn't matter, it's always the content and programming that matters (whether personal, or my preference is actually collaborative filtering radio such as http://www.instatone.com (sorry for the plug) or any other of a number of similar quality filtercasts.
