It has democratized the power of audio art, increased the availability of consumer grade audio gear and forever changed the way we consume media. In the first few years podcastings mantra was "content is king". It was a new medium and many would tolerate lower production skills for a fresh view or interesting topics. The democratization of voices was a revolution as the power of the RSS feed allowed for anyone interesting, knowledgeable or talented enough to have a voice without the need for corporate media. Around 2007 as the medium began to mature, the impact of podcasting began to change. The lasting impact may no longer be podcasting itself as much as its delivery method, RSS. Real Simple Syndication has an impact on media far wider than podcasting. I listen to many radio shows, all are time shifted via RSS. I also watch much video content, and I honestly dont know which ones are on my TiVo via RSS download vs recorded. RSS has revolutionized media delivery and is breaking many business models as it allows for others to flourish. I agree that the podcasting revolution has had an incredible impact on scociety.

As an ex radio guy I've slowly watched terrestrial radio take a nose dive. Which is because they’ve lost touch with the listener. Podcasts offer the content that terrestrial radio is afraid to play and say. After listening to alot of podcasts I’ve found that there are alot of crappy ones. It seems that there are ton of kids out there with their little sisters “Barbie Microphone” that think they’re going to be a big radio star. Please, read about, get some training and learn about podcasting before you open that mic. It’s almost like comparing small town radio to big city radio. Podcasts can be original programming that radio stations might pick up as content. On the other hand you do get some goofs passing off their local morning show as a podcast, please STOP THAT!!! Thanks so much for writing this article. It was very well done. Bryan Cox “Hey Get Off My Lawn” Podcast. Podcasts put the power of broadcast in the hands of the people.

When you mention NPR and commercial radio, my first thought is, who in commercial radio these days is producing actual content? Aside from your talk shows (politics, sports talk), who is creating actual content that is original and worth achiving and listening to later? I think this is where podcasters have an edge, if only a slight one. They obviously don't have the money of NPR, nor the time (but usually have decent enough equipment). I look forward to reading into the archives. Thanks. Well done. When you mention NPR and commercial radio, my first thought is, who in commercial radio these days is producing actual content?
