Sound bites:
it’s (podcasting is) like the web browser. It took awhile for everyone to have a web browser, but now are there like one hundred million web browsers? Probably more than that. That is essentially the platform through which we can distribute information and consume information. When I look at PodCasting, I kind of see this. I mean, how many PodCasts are there? 8,000? 20,000? Growing every day. I think something like 8,000 registered maybe, and there probably many, many more in all kinds of different fields. But I kind of view it as all one big station, one big radio station. And when I was in radio on radio stations what important was how far is our signal reaching - not for my individual show, to how many listeners will I get, but to how many people can we potentially reach? You know, what is the potential audience out there?

Big Prediction: There’s going to be, we are going to wake up one day and it will be clear that the rules have changed. That, I think, is going to be the big thing. The public that just consumes stuff and loves to watch and read, they are going to say “Hey, wait a minute, something has changed here, and I can do it too.” There’s a very small group that understands that now. Maybe it’s the 400 people in this room, maybe it’s 4,000, but it’s not much more than that who understand that “I can be the guy on the radio, I can be the guy on TV, I can be the guy in the newspaper, and you know what? I want to be, because I have something to say.” And when people are switched on in that matter, wow.
