At NAB in Las Vegas, Rob Walch of Libsyn talks about where podcasting has been, where it is, and where it is going. Citing some surprising statistics, Rob explains why podcasts are no longer a niche thing, a common characteristic of some of the top podcasts, and why mobile devices, particularly Apple’s iPhone and iPad are leaders in the podcasting space. Rob also discusses why live streaming may be overrated, when people download their podcasts, and why he no longer needs to explain the business he’s in.
