Whither the Podcasts?

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted a Podcast in a while, here’s the reason: I’ve been listening to a lot of them—the better ones will get listed on the sidebar of this page—and I think I’ve misread the market of this nascent genre more than a little bit . Most Podcasts seem to be geared towards commuters, hence their average running times of 30 minutes or more. The most successful ones are either about music or (big surprise) technology, and while any of my friends will tell you that I could easily go on about cell phones for an hour, even I wouldn’t wish that on anyone on a regular basis.

Besides, Audlink can put your very own voice on your website without all the hassle. Just call their long distance number, record your message and it’ll be automagically uploaded to a compatible web publishing system.

I gotta say, though, that hearing people natter on into their mobiles is annoying enough without the words “dear diary” added into the mix…

NOTE: You’ll probably hear the echo in the voices of Chris and myself, which strangely wasn’t a problem in the Mac vs. PC debate I did with Al and Jack. If anyone has any pointers for improving my recording setup please send ‘em this way!
