We're Entering a Golden Age of Podcasts
Personally, I'm not a fan of podcasts at all.<p>I've tried, and listened to some interesting ones, but in the end I'd much rather consume the same content by reading instead of listening.  It's faster, it's easier to skim and skip around, you can have hyperlinks to other references, etc.  Overall, text just works better for the kinds of content I'm interested in.<p>There's a podcast related to a product I work with that I've tried a few times.  The podcast is very well done, but each one is about an hour long.  I'd much rather have it as a blog post where I can skim through to find the pieces that interest me.  They've gotten a little better with their episode descriptions where they tell you what topics they are talking about and when they start, but it's only a minor improvement.<p>Podcasts are also completely inaccessible to search engines.  If I want to find the podcast where they talked about an interesting thing that I want to revisit, and it's not in the episode description, it's basically lost forever.
