That step is planned by Odeo, a five-person start-up that is based in a walk-up apartment in this city's Mission District and was co-founded by a Google alumnus. The company plans to introduce a Web-based system that is aimed at making a business of podcasting - the process of creating, finding, organizing and listening to digital audio files that range from living-room ramblings to BBC newscasts."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/screenshot-tiny.jpg" /> <br /><br />Looks like Podcasting is about to hit commercial. The licensing issues of Podcast have gotten in the way of good content so maybe a paid service is the solution.
