A few reasons to support the value of podcasting can be found in an interview with former radio show hosts Dave Jagger and Geri Jarvis at About.com titled “Dave and Geri: When Radio Turned its Back on Them - They Turned Up the Heat: How Two Long-Time Radio Personalities Are Leveraging Podcasting” by Corey Deitz, About.com guide. Jagger notes that podcasting is “having a conversation with the listener and at the same time trying to engage them to participate as well. Like radio... but not!” He also notes the listener is able to stop the podcast, reverse it, and listen again to segments of the podcast.
Dave and Jeri’s podcasts can be found at their website: http://www.daveandgeri.com/.

A great definition of podcasting with useful reasoning about
podcasting in general can be seen at Google
Plus Today. In essence it states
that podcasts are audio files that can be downloaded to a portable digital
media player and listened to at the listener’s convenience.
Our project for the Week 10 is to create a podcast which I
will post next week and which brings me to free apps for podcasting. Most how-to articles and books about
podcasting suggest Audacity and GarageBand. In a one-day workshop I attended the
instructor suggested Podomatic for
that workshop.
There are many more aspects of podcasting that prove
interesting for discussion and can be covered at another time.

Great take Ann Marie! I like your way of viewing as radio that you can choose what you listen to.
