That, I think, is the key point in podcasting. You listen away from your computer, usually while doing something else. This is (one reason) why podcasting took off and videoblogging hasn't. And you needn't be tragically hip. There are many mp3 players out there, some built into jumpdrives and costing as little as $30. You can give every kid in a media program an mp3 player that also stores all their digital photos and written work. Is that a cheap enough platform for you?
