Press the Meat

Apparently, Meet the Press consistently ranks as one of the top 100 iTunes podcast downloads. It's not hard to see why; staring at Tim Russert for an hour is not unlike staring at a beef roast. But still: podcasts of TV shows are becoming popular? Wow; plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. Remember back in the 40s and 50s when radio shows were being adapted en masse to TV? Now they appear to be going back again. (What's TV without pictures? Radio!) Still, I think it's all a moot point. Podcasting will be video-based very soon, and then all the audio-only podcasts will migrate to video podcasts. Again, the more that things change, the more they stay the same.
