What is podcasting?

I've been hoping to make a primer on podcasting for a long time now but I guess it's futile since there are a whole lot more websites who can explain things a whole lot better than I can. I source is iPod garage with their "So you wanna start podcasting" series.

Podcasting started grassroots, but it pioneers are now hedging towards getting advertisements for their shows. There are even some podcasters who are charging a subscription fee of $25.

It would seem money and greed are permeating the world of podcasting. But for the rest of the thousands of podcasters, money isn't the object. It's the desire to create their content for their friends and families, and perhaps, be heard by the rest of the world.

Will I ever do a podcast?

Maybe.

Soon.
