Well, you can't print out a podcast. You can't (easily) cut and paste a
quotation from a podcast into a document you're creating. If saved to
disk they take up many more times as much disk space as a transcript
would. You cannot listen to it without having a power source (AC or
battery) and a listening device. Deaf people are left out unless
there's some TTD equivalent.
IMO that's how podcasts are, umm, 'better'.

There was a discussion about podcasts for the i5 community. Not to talk
down a technology, but what's the difference between a podcast and an
article (besides the obvious sensory difference)? Is there some
technology associated with podcasts that makes it inherently better than
reading, or is it just a different way?
