You must read Podcasting News if you are interested in podcasts! The New York Times has NYTimes Podcasts covering almost every area of interest. For anyone and everyone, podcast.net is a directory of professional and amateur podcasts. Unfortunately, many podcasts come and go too quickly and the directory links to some ghost sites.

Podcasting has the convenience that most Web tools lack. A podcast listener can be riding train, jogging, or sitting at home. As a listener, I don't need to interact with the podcast; I can listen and think. I can review a segment several times, or skip boring segments. It beats reading a Web page!

I listen to KGO (San Francisco); podcasts allow me to listen to any show from the previous seven days.
