You can get annoyed because people aren't paying enough attention to podcasting, or you could describe it in a way that the average Joe or Jane will understand. Don't tell me it's cool, and don't describe it in geekspeak. I love disruptive innovation. But for it to disrupt me (which is a good thing) I have to be able to open the can and heat it on the stove. Treat me like the simple but eager person I am, and show me how that's done. Be still my heart. Now, look.

I don't mind inattention or even reasoned arguments about the problems inherent in this burgeoining medum (and they certainly do exist.) What I don't like is the automatic, phoned-in arguments recycled from the last few things just like this - weblogs, ebooks, the internet, telephones, etc etc. I have been thinking on and off about preparing a podcasting 101 FAQ and/or talking points. If I can, I'll post that today. </p> <p>In a lot of ways, I'm worried that the attention is premature. Issues are still being worked out, so I don't want to see Tom Brokaw or Newsweek magazine talking about this yet. Your points are indead all well taken and will be gotten to, probably sooner rather than later because of the unusually steep trajectory of this rocket. </p> KG, the only thing I’m bugged about is relexive dismissal.
