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?
