Yahoo! News – ‘Podcasting’ Lets Masses Do Radio Shows
After getting a taste of the radio business in college, software designer Craig Patchett never lost his interest in broadcasting. But without a job in radio, it seemed likely to remain one of those unfulfilled passions — until something called “podcasting” came along.
Now, Patchett’s creating shows and sending them out to the masses every day — not over the airwaves to radios but over the Internet, from his personal computer in Carlsbad, Calif.
His listeners download his shows to their iPods and other digital music players.
