I talk about the state of podcast software as I walk across midtown Manhattan. I also comment on the discussion over at Dave Winer's new sitepodcatch.comabout the developments at Odeo and Adam Curry's PodShow. It seems that a couple of very useful podcast apps likeAudioBlog.comandphpBB Podcasthave been left out of the discussion. phpBB Podcast has been working for me and it looks likeEric Ricehas got some features that I've been looking for over at AudioBlog.Also, I wonder how much of the development time for PodShow and Odeo will be dedicated to audio recording functionality. It seems to me that what's really needed at this point in the game are apps that support distribution and subscription. Let's get those into the mix and then people can focus on the much more difficult problem of giving people the ability to very easily create quality audio recordings. I'm thinking of the many musicians and internet radio-philes who already have quality content, but not necessarily the RSS or blog skills. There are a lot of them out there!
