I agree completely. I made an assumption that when we were talking about podcasts and other homemade broadcasts that we were talking about audio related topics. Those are the only such announcements that would intrest me. My mistake for believing that was what would be allowed to a greater degree and perhaps with a slightly broader range. I have no interest in anyone's tour of their dentist's office or in any other non media related podcast. Come to think of it, I have to psych myself up before visiting my own dentist's office.
