iPod Radio

In the past week I've been listening to Adam Curry's (yes, of MTV fame) podcast Daily Source Code. While I don't envision a TAM podcast anytime soon (it feels too complicated and time consuming) I'm interested in where it will go. Curry is the one to listen to to find out. DSC is pretty geeky. Curry talks about the hardware and software he uses to make his podcast. So DSC could be thought of as a tech podcast. But Curry also plays lots of promos for other podcasts. He's a very giving gent. In that respect I think of him as the Instapundit of podcasters.

The reason I brought up podcasting is Infinity is changing the format of one of their radio stations from talk to podcasts. People will be able to submit their casts, and the station will pick some to play on-air. Curry probably had a wet dream with this news. It partially validates all the work he's put into this new medium. Highly idosyncratic, highly individualized media may be the wave of the future.
