Because podcasts have not been advertised much, I have not been exposed to them. I never hear people talking about podcasts or see them advertised anywhere. After watching the video in class about the popularity of podcasts, I was able to see how popular they actually are. I learned that most podcasts have a target audience. I dont think there are many out there that would relate to my age, gender and interests. After doing some research in class, I found some local podcasts that are aired on the local radio stations. I think if podcasts were advertised more on social networks targeted to my age group, I would be able to find interests in them. According to the video in class, podcasting has a future in the community.
Right now, podcasts seem to be the domain of mostly NPR, ESPN, and niche subculture interests. However, it's a matter of time before they catch on and become more mainstream.
