10
Reasons Why Listeners May Not Listen
10. Hosts who read their iTunes reviews as a segment…
or even better, to start off their whole show.
9. Jokes that only the hosts get… not even regular listeners.
8. Um… dead air um… ah. Ummmm.
7. Hosts talking about technical glitches forever.
6. Hosts that talk like they’re bored out of their
mind. Why should I care if you don’t?
5. Shows with no discernable format between episodes.
4. Shows that go on for over an hour, but have the content of
a 15-30 minute show.
3. Hosts that talk to people off mic that are not in the show.
It’s so fun hearing one side of a conversation!
2. When the host sounds like he’s recording in
the middle of a echo chamber standing about 10 feet from the
mic.
1. Heavy breathing and mouth noises… like smacking.

Portable Recording Solutions
Podcasting was originally developed to let people create
their own little radio-like broadcasts for distribution over
the Internet. Part of the idea was to make it simple for people
to download podcasts to devices such as the iPod, but it quickly
became much more than that. Now podcasts are also used for everything
from distributing university lectures to providing self-guided
tours in a museum.

When Apple unveiled its iPhone 3GS earlier this month, AT&T
was noticeably absent from the list of providers that would
provide tethering capabilities for the smartphone.
AT&T has since said that the technology, which allows users
