Mainstream noticing podcasting

The front page of the Boston Globe has a good article on podcasting by Peter J. Howe, a staff writer — they didn't farm this out to one of their (excellent) tech writers. Peter writes:

If Internet-based weblogs turned everyone into a potential newspaper columnist, and digital cameras let them become photojournalists, podcasting is promising to let everyone with a microphone and a computer become a radio commentator.

After the fold, he gets to what the effect podcasting will have on broadcasting: With the ability to mix home-grown creations with an increasing choice of mainstream offerings, we'll get program allegiance, not channel allegiance.

[Note: The Globe link will break in a day or two.]
