Podcasting can be oddcasting
You might never be on radio, but at least you can master the jargon. We got the link from Charles Arthur, of The Guardian, who's discovered that sitting in front of a microphone - even for a podcast - can be surprisingly demanding. And what with there being no sense of time, or for that matter place, and an enigmatic audience, he suggests that it's difficult to know how, and to whom to address oneself.
On the other hand, we've found the Radio National podcasts - which regard it all as a simple extension of radio - seem entirely appropriate to the new medium. And - the queue forms below to attack us once again for our resistance to the charms of G'Day World - some podcasts seem contrived, self-conscious and ... well ... fake. On the other hand, not having listened to it for quite a long time, maybe it's now as absorbing to us "poddies" as LNL. Somehow, we doubt it.
