TiVo for audio
WIRED published an article on podcasting this morning that I found interesting. I had heard the term before; however, I dismissed it as just some dorky thing that Apple drones did on their tangerine "computers." Turns out that it is actually something kind of cool. And because podcast advocates, like Adam Curry at iPodder, are using all the right buzzwords (TiVo, RSS, even Howard Stern), it's caught my interest, too.
In a nutshell, podcasting involves recording internet radio content and automatically downloading it to a portable music player. Once the user installs one of the various podcast apps and selects their programming, the rest happens without user intervention.
Howard Stern is mentioned in the article as a great candidate for podcast distribution. Considering his jump to satellite radio, he will be providing a digital stream of his show in 2006. If Sirius develops a way to record that stream, I may be a little more interested in satellite radio and podcasting than I am right now.
