    Great observations! I am finishing a dissertation on educational podcasting in higher education. I am writing my closing statements on the future of podcasting & will quote and cite your blog comments. Thank you for helping me through a momentary mental block.

    Thanks Christopher.

    Your statement "We ... are too quick to give up on anyone who’s not an instant early adopter, and as such are leaving people - and money - behind in our mad, attention-deficit rush for instant gratification, instant results, instant fame." is SO true.

    I am and will stay a podcast believer :-)

    I totally agree with this idea. People seem to forget that blogs were not an instant success. Only in the past couple years are we seeing a person make a living off of blogging, many years after blogging started. It will be the same for podcasts maybe just a bit quicker with the adoption of internet.

    I like your metaphor for the life-cycle of podcasting.

    Podcasting is the audio byproduct of technology evolution. I think it's obvious to anyone by now that audio on the web is here to stay. When, in 2001, I put my 5-minute radio show on the internet for anyone to listen to it at anytime, I didn't know it will be called podcasting. But I knew for sure this is the future.

    If podcasting would be radio, we're still in the AM years. Or around peck #5,000 -)
