I like the freedom of podcasting. With podcasting you can really mess around with the form and the format. You can do as much time as you like without having to pause for commercials.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Podcasting is great. Total freedom.
My favorite part of podcasting is running my mouth for an hour. The only time I don't like it is when I'm off. Then that hour feels like a day and a half.
I wish podcasting was my only job - I have more fun doing that than I have doing absolutely anything else. But my job is that I'm a writer.
Doing the podcast, the whole reason to do it is just because I can do whatever I want.
I love podcasts! I wish I had my own, although I think there are already too many podcasts, so I don't know how I would create a new one.
I downloaded a Ricky Gervais podcast once at the persistent urging of a friend and found it funny but distracting - if I'm online, I'm surfing, which means I'm distracted from the podcast. So it's a form that doesn't really work for me.
I like radio because you can do an hour-long interview and then three days later have a finished piece.
I've always liked the format of YouTube, sharing things for free, which is a nice exchange between people.
I would love to do a podcast because I've done so many of them, guesting on them. Plus, anything goes, which I love.
Podcasting is not really that different from streaming music, which we've done for quite a long time. Having a traditional podcast that people subscribe to - the hype is ahead of the quality. Podcasting is essentially a download, and you run into copyright issues. What you're left with currently is podcast talk radio.
