Yahoo, Apple and the BBC are all jumping on the podcasting bandwagon.But where does the broadcasting revolution go from here?
In the heyday of radio, the wireless was the centre of people's lives. The image of families gathered around their radio set is a familiar one — listening to a broadcast was a group activity. 'When they say The Radio, they don't mean ... a man in a studio,' wrote EB White, author of children's classic Charlotte's Web, in the 1940s. 'They refer to a pervading and somewhat godlike presence which has come into their lives and homes. It is a mighty attractive idol.'
Time has changed that idol's nature.
