Business Week Reports on Podcasting (from: Ken Leebow)

BusinessWeek poses the question: “Want to podcast your own ’station’ or listen to the new medium’s pioneers?”
This is an interesting article and it has many podcasting resources.
No doubt, podcasting is interesting. However, until you can easily identify high-quality content, it’s got a long way to go baby.
BusinessWeek also poses this question: “Tired of listening to the same old playlist on your iPod?” And Leebow says: “Absolutely not!” In fact . . .
Leebow Rocks
I’m on stairmaster (my daughter tells me I have to call it an elliptical trainer) and I’m listening to my iPod — no headphones. It’s plugged into my stereo. Whoa: I had an epiphany.
1. I haven’t listened to a radio broadcast since I’ve owned my iPod (about a year).
2. Here’s the thing: I’m my own DJ. I program (playlist) hundreds of songs that I enjoy and just hit play. I could leave this thing going for days without touching the Pod.
3. I have about eight main playlists (each playlist has hundreds of songs) . . .
Guys
Ladies
Country
Country Guys
Emmy Lou Harris (love Emmy Lou)
Motown
Jazz
Classical
Rarely, if ever, do I listen to a song that I do not like. Actually, if I hear one that I don’t like, I delete it from my computer.
Moral of the story: If you don’t have an iPod, get one!
I travel a lot. When I travel, the iPod is my friend and travel stress-buster.
