What is so good (or bad) about podcasting?

April 25, 2008

Podcasting, just like any other technology, has advantages and disadvantages.

The one thing to consider with podcasting is that anyone with something to say can say it, whether they have political views they want to share with the world, or success tips to help people improve their lives.

The result is you’re going to get podcasts which provide real value and you’re going to get podcasts which waste your time. You might even come across podcasts which could potentially offend.

You’ll get podcasts with nothing to say and podcasts that say way too much.

Podcasting is open to anyone and everyone who wants to get in on it, whether the things they have to say are of value to people or not.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. Seeing what kind of podcasts are out there, though, and selectively choosing the ones you want, will allow you to listen to what you want to listen to!
