Podcasting quickly spread, and many would-be broadcasters began to create their own shows. Shows with topics ranging from politics, gardening, self-help and gaming began to pop up across the Internet. In the months that followed, USA Today wrote an article about the new technology, and the growth continued. In June 2005, President Bush became a podcaster, as his weekly radio address was posted on the Internet. Traditional broadcasters and news outlets have also embraced this new form of media. The British Broadcasting Corp. posts many of its radio programs and news-based shows on the Internet for download. Former cast members of the extremely successful call-in technology program “The Screen Savers” also began a podcast in 2004. Since its inception, “This Week in Tech” has become one of the most popular and respected podcasts. Many consider the program the reason for the increased popularity of podcasting. Radio programs are not the only interesting idea to come from this venture. Musselburgh Grammar School in Scotland is the first noted school to use podcasting to help students with homework for a foreign language course. The latest NASA Space Shuttle mission lays claim to broadcasting the first podcast from space. Religion has also embraced the concept, with sermons from various churches around the world available for download. Politics.has found a way to use podcasting, as various U.S. senators have begun to capture their weekly radio broadcasts for download. At first, podcasting was not officially supported by Apple, but as of June 2005, Apple began supporting the venture by adding a “podcast” search string for its MP3 music program, iTunes. Search Google these days and you will find thousands of Web sites showcasing podcasts and even several “how-to” sites for getting started. You can get a podcast started by using various. recording technologies and programs. It should be noted that an iPod is not required to listen to podcasts. Any music software or MP3 player should suffice. Comments on this stgry?
