Podcasting--savior of Radio?

Meanwhile, "podfather" Adam Curry is slated to start a four-hour show with a selection of the best podcasts for Sirius satellite radio. Curry is also launching PodShow.com as a network of podcasters that he can monetize through advertising. Marketwatch reports that one of the more popular formats of podcasts is now religious-themed content, dubbed "Godcasts." Broadcast radio isn't sitting idly by, however. USA Today says that broadcasters are now offering more eclectic formats and more music with less ads. Plus, Infinity Broadcasting launched its first HD Radio multicast in Chicago, with a country station offering a separate music channel with a more adventurous format. So far, HD Radio has been slow to take off, with expensive radio receivers, but that might change once more broadcasters make the switch and expand programming choices.
