The new age of radio

Can Podcasting be the "new radio"???
podcasting has become so popular that it's now considered an official word !!!
according to Webster's new millennium dictionary of english :

-podcast :(n) a Web-based audio broadcast via an RSS feed, accessed by subscription over the Internet.

-podcast :(v) to deliver a Web-based audio broadcast via an RSS feed over the Internet to subscribers.

There are hours and hours and hours of podcasts over the internet so the task of finding the "favourite" podcasts is not easy by any means, it depends on where and how you look around and what are you realy interested in!

my search included both independent and corporate podcasts,and I found that there's a lot more quality and content in independent podcasts,
there are alot of intersting podcasts out there, it'd be unfair to just name three , but anyway :

1- Avaya's "Smart Start with Dummies" audio books podcast was interesting , it's good if you want to get an idea of VOIP and SIP technologies,
you can find it at http://www.avaya.com/gcm/master-usa/en-us/podcasts/index.htm

2- Comis strip live: stand up comedy , great content , very diverse , ranges from "clean" everyday life humor to "explicit" political content
great if you're into stand up comdey "like me" http://www.podcast.net/show/8226

3-Practical performance guitar, Expressive playing: If you're into learning guitar rock solos, this is a great resource for you !! it'd be better if it had video , but it's a nice challenge ! http://www.podcast.net/show/46447


other intersting podcasts:
-The american life, chicago publice radio: the #1 podcast on iTunes!
-Monster guitar podcasts , lessons and tips: http://www.podcast.net/show/5693
-Learn spanish with coffe break spanish: for you spanish language zealots you can find it on itunes !
-Irish and celtic music podcast : common it's saint patrick's season!!! find it on itunes


it's hard to say which podcasts were less favourite , generally i'd say the ones with a not-very-attractive titles are the least favourite!

enjoy
