Well, DT and newestbeginning, there's a lot of demand for audio. Busy people listen to it while driving, walking, housecleaning, getting surgeries and the like. I really enjoyed doing a spoken talk on bad left slogans last week. It was so much more free flowing to just have some notes and talk. I listened to it and this interview and concluded that I do in fact have a partial Chicago accent -- something I have been denying.
You know, for what it's worth, it is disheartening to see the trend to podcast type work. In the dismal age of social media and information bombardment from all directions, there is no better way to have what you have to say get lost in the ether. I know they are "popular", but for me, they are a waste of time and a loss of your great work and "voice" in the body politic. Be well.
Paul, for you, it’s an appropriate idea because it will undoubtedly get your message out to people who may have never heard of you and your message, which should be shouted from the rooftops. Isn’t that something Sam would typically say from Refuse Fascism?
On the other hand, I will listen to podcasts when I drive alone or do housework, again alone. I’ll always prefer the written word. It lets me refer to the dictionary for a definition that I’m struggling with or be given a chance to reread a sentence that I do not understand the first time around.

Yes, some podcast formats make for greater understanding; others, not so much.
