Podcasting/week 5/reading

Before Social Media class the only kind of podcast I had heard of was from I-Tunes. Technology has brought a voice to the unheard. Anybody can voice their opinion, whether right or wrong, and there are people that are willing to listen. Podcasting is basically blogging in an audio form. Nowadays everything from T.V. shows to radio shows are broad casted via the internet. We have come a long way from the old radio shows. I found in my reading that podcasts are like Tivo for radio. Anything recorded can be heard in audio form. I feel that podcasting is a more legitimate form of social media because you can hear the voice of the creeper posting rather than just his creeper words. Over the next few years look out for podcasting to breakout into the mainstream. Overall podcasting is in the early stages and is prime for the youth of America.
