Podcasts are popular with the public

Over on MacMikeNews, they’re talkling about how much they listen to podcasts. With one out of five Americans now in possession of an iPod, the rapid proliferation of podcasts is reaching an audience that has to be sending shudders down the spinte of over-the-air and satellite broadcasters.

I’m struck by the diversity of podcasts that the posters are talking about. I confess, I haven’t downloaded many. I’m too much of a news junkie, I guess. And a country music fan. My new car (a Buick Lucerne) has XM Radio and I’m like a kid on Christmas morning unwrapping the presents on the sat channels.

But there’s a port for me to plug in an iPod on the car radio so I’m heading to the Net and going to sample some p’casts for the long commute.

    I have a comment and a Question.

    First, I don’t own a iPod, so is there any other way that I can Listen to your show other than TV?

    Also, I’ve been trying ALL WEEK to transfer music from CD-Computer-MP3/PDA with no luck…I’ve done everything that the Manual instructed, and I still have no music on the PDA/MP3! Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? PLEASE HELP! It’s a Sony Clie PEG-N760C model.

    Sincerely yours,
    Jon
