"It has to be the completely unedited voice"

Podcasting is hitting the mainstream. Way back in February I talked about podcasting for the first time. Podcasts are an audio style blog that can produced quite easily and distributed throughout the internet. The recognized "inventor" of podcasting is Adam Curry and yesterday he released the details of a new deal that will bring podcasting to the masses.

Via the NY Times:

It was an offer even the podfather could not refuse: the chance to be host of a radio program devoted solely to podcasts, or homemade radio shows formatted for digital audio players.
Adam Curry, a former MTV host who developed software that lets people automatically receive these programs on Apple's iPod and other players, will produce and be host of a four-hour program every weekday starting May 13 on Sirius Satellite Radio.

Mr. Curry will help choose material for "Adam Curry's PodShow" from some of the thousands of amateur shows produced in basements, living rooms and dormitories. Sirius subscribers, who pay $12.95 a month for the service, can listen to the show on channel 148, "Talk Central."
