Advantages/Disadvantages
Podcasting, just like any other technology, has advantages and disadvantages. There is one primary factor that is both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time: podcasting is the unexplored country, the Wild West of technology. This means that anyone with something to say has an opportunity to say it, whether they have political views they want to share at the world, or success tips to help people improve their lives. And the result is you’re going to get podcasts which provide real value and podcasts which waste your time and podcasts which could potentially offend. You'll get podcasts with nothing to say and podcasts that say way too much. Until a regulatory body is established that will bring some structure to the industry, podcasting is open to anyone and everyone who wants to get in on it, whether the things they have to say are of value to people or not. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. Seeing what kind of podcasts are out there, though, and selectively choosing the ones you want, will allow you to take advantage… of the advantage!
