It's been over a year since I first talked about podcasting.

Since then, podcasting has expanded significantly, due to two main factors:

1. iTunes and iPods have integrated podcasts.
2. Video iPods.

The most impressive use of this new medium has to be by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) and Bryan Singer (Superman Returns). They understand their target audience. They understand that fans want detail: to see what you have been doing and thinking.

Over the next year, I hope that more people will consider the possibilities that are opened up by short audio or video extras.

These are the podcasts I am currently listening to or watching:
