I can honestly say I'm not the biggest fan of podcasts. That's pretty weird since I'm not necessarily bothered by the lack of visual entertainment- I browse the internet all the time while listening to episodes of shows and movies. Podcasts just don't do anything for me. As for the "important" podcasts, like of news stories....why not just read the news? I mean, you're already online. You might even get through the story faster than whoever is talking on the podcast.
I checked out Piers Morgan's podcast about the concerns over radiation coming from Japan. It seems to me that a lot of podcasts (this one, anyway) are just an outlet for the people from 24 hour news stations who aren't on the air 24 hours a day to be on the air a bit more. It's not like he's not going to talk about it tonight on his show. I could just listen to the radio, or whatever. I promise I'm not trying to be stubborn about technology...I'm just not into podcasts. ^_^
I do know that there are other podcasts out there that I might be interested in (like a few years ago when I was into the whole paranormal investigation scene, the guys from Ghost Hunters had a weekly podcast that I thought about listening to). I just don't really care. I'd rather read than listen- I read faster than people can talk, anyway.
Needless to say, I won't be subscribing to any podcasts in the near future.
