Considering the audience, and program planning in general, are critical to podcast listenability. My non-librarian wife can attest to this. She has very little interest in my podcasts, which are geared toward my colleagues in the library field. Unfortunately, she often listens to portions over and over as I edit the programs and she wishes she could tune them out. Thanks for the input- John Iliff Hi Emily: This is something that Chris mentioned in his podcast more than mine, but I did want to respond that you are correct.

After all, you can’t drive a car and read blogs, but you can listen to your iPod. This technology can be especially beneficial when it comes to libraries and other areas of knowledge distribution. As a student, I can't agree with you more about the importance of considering your public in podcasting. It really does mean the difference between the success and failure of a program. College students tune out to subjects that can captivate senior citizens. Podcasting is booming right now because of its versatility and portability.
