Rex Hammock has completed his excellent series, How Apple Will Change Everything About Podcasting, with a post about Five Potential Unintended Consequences of iTunes Embracing Podcasting. The post punctures the podcast bubble just a bit, pointing out some of the negative possibilities of major corporations jumping in so quickly. Read the whole thing. But the best part of the post is the postscript.

In an earlier post, I listed several types of podcasts formats/programming/content I thought could catch on. That post led to lots of e-mail and trackbacks with some great ideas. Alot of them were related to classroom recordings and educational/training audio. Several people e-mailed me suggesting that sermons would be great podcasts -- as the son of a minister, I agree. Some folks e-mailed me to say there are already tour-oriented podcasts and I even received an e-mail from my friend Ellen Pryor at Nashville's Frist Center for the Visual Arts saying the museum was jumping into podcasting.

The point is, with the new tools to create audio files, Odeo, for example and a plug in for my favorite software, NoteTaker or popping a Griffin iTalk onto your iPod, or using tools like Garage Band, it's just a matter of time, folks. Get ready. [italics in original]
