Adam Curry to Launch Podcast Network

Lookout MTV, later this winter podcasting pioneer Adam Curry and partners plan to launch a podcasting network, offering an edited selection of the web's best dispatches and tools for neophytes to create their own casts, the new issue of Fortune reports.

Just as blogs have challenged mainstream media, Curry predicts that podcasts will take on radio and satellite. "With podcasting, people can tune out the world and listen to whatever they choose," says Curry. "In a way we're really looking at the dismantling of the monoculture," he says. Guess it's a good thing he's not at MTV anymore.

oh, lord spare us all..

Still, curry fan or not it'll be interesting to see how that one pans out.. personally im not in the least bit persuaded that podcasts *as they stand now* will be of any great benefit to anyone except wannabe dj's

Now, if we're talking ITConversations that's an entirely different matter..

One thing I don't get...How is podcasting superior to internet radio? If I was going to evangelize the transformation of radio, I 'd start there. But hey, that's just me.

I think that if someone can better explain to podcasting newbies and those just entering the 'sphere that podcasting is like TiVo-ing your favorite sites, you'll have more lightbulb (read: a-ha!) moments. Of course if i'm at my computer and can listen to a cast for 10 minutes I will - but knowing that my little iPod is picking up the other casts that I want to hear but can't right now, and will store them for me to listen to in the car, in line at the bank, running, etc is liberating, and makes the 'casts seem more built for my life.

Thanks Jay.

I had this same thing happen to me with Skype. I kept seeing all these "Skype Me" buttons on people's pages, but I'm like what the hell is Skype. And I never bothered to find out. It takes time to discover new technologies! At any rate, I finally asked someone last Saturday and now I get it.
