And don't forget the fragmented nature of many people's time. I simply don't have the time to dedicate to even a half-hour podcast show, let alone a feed-catcher full of long-format stuff, but grabbing a minute or two of videoblog here and there is much more easily achievable. Back in 2004 or so I subscribed to a whole bunch of interesting short-format audio stuff: people reading short stories; sound effects; jokes; quizzes; soundscapes; short language lessons and so on. Most of them have long since faded away, but some of that sort still exist. My daughter is enjoying Coffee Break Spanish <http://coffeebreakspanish.libsyn.com/>, and I notice that PodQuiz <http://www.podquiz.com/> is still going strong. Anyone else got any recommendations?
