History and Podcast City Depends on your P.O.V.. Graphic: Podcasting viewed through Scripting News. There has been a lot of discussion in the last couple of days about podcasting, and whether it has achieved its promise, or if it will achieve its promise. We all have different perspectives, but if you think about what it looks like from the point of view of someone who was reading this weblog in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, there was unbelievably huge growth in podcasting in 2005 and the first part of 2006. Think about all the experiments we did here in the early years, and how they didn't start getting uptake until mid-2004 or so. If one percent of the people in the US are using podcasts today, that's 3 million people. That's a lot more people than read this blog. So something is working! [Scripting News] 7:55:31 PM
