Podcasts ready to hit "inflection point" in '07

Dan Colman at Open Culture, reflecting on our recent Future Tense interview (iTunes - mp3), says podcasting is set to get really really big this year.

Not too long ago, podcasts were fairly limited in number. But, during the past 12 months, many universities (see our full collection) have carved out some space on iTunes and developed substantial collections. Somewhere in '07, we should hit an inflection point. Supply will increase demand. Demand will trigger more supply. We'll see exponential growth and never look back. The days where you could personally keep tabs on all the great new podcasts will simply be over, although we'll sift through them and highlight what's worth your time.
