Conversation with MetaFilter's Matt Haughey About Podcast Resurgence

• maraglee 12y ago
  > Podcasting could be a lot bigger if the clients were more than downloadable file managers, if it was just a couple taps to hear a show I agree about the clients being key. Although there are now great clients for smartphones (eg Pocket casts). But a big factor probably also is that you can easily download them on your phone now and don't have to plug your mp3 player in. > when they say "podcast resurgence" and that's honestly about one thing: ad money. And that's somewhat annoying. Even the big ones (This American life) have big ad segments. Some even multiple times per show and almost always spoken by the cast themselves. I feel there might quickly something like Adblock for Podcasts become relevant, with the ad timecodes collaborated and cut out.
