I’ve never been wowed by podcasting, because I don’t have an iPod and because it just seems like radio shows. But Robert Scoble, a blogger prominent for his work at Microsoft, talks about podcasts that are made to be mobile in this Wired News interview.

If you listen to Rick Steve, I don’t really think he gets the differences of an iPod: I can listen to it while I’m walking through the Louvre.

With his shows on PBS, he’s saying, if you’re thinking of going to Paris, here’s what you have to think about. But if I’m in Paris already, listening to a podcast, I need the director of the museum talking to me about what I’m seeing.

Entertainment stuff will take care of itself. It’s the little ideas, like what to listen to on a road trip from Seattle to Montana, that are interesting.

Quick ideas: NU campus tour (with more candor than the official ones), walking tour of downtown Chicago. There’s probably area to make some reflective ones to take for a walk around the lake. And I know the first podcast with great stuff to listen to on the plane (and the L) would be killer.
