I am at a science communications meeting in DC. I was told today that there is no future in podcasts. I disagree.

@profvrr Obviously spoken by someone who has no desire to keep learning. Or who doesn't know what iTunes is.

@Amy2913 The many who said this is Director of Communications for the DOE Dept of Science. He has 200 podcasts on his iPad.

@profvrr Then I am really confused.

@Amy2913 In addition he says podcasts are too niche, too hard to find, and will never have broad appeal.

@profvrr @Amy2913 Hmmm @zweberfarms I feel that this relates to @AgSciToday (esp. for our farmer listeners). Just name 'podcast' could deter

@science_cow @profvrr @Amy2913 seriously though, what is the best way to break down the perceived tech barrier limiting ppl from podcasts?

@AgSciToday @profvrr @Amy2913 A very good question. Is it as simple as changing the name?
