Hacks 44–49

The worst thing about podcasting is also the

best thing: the saturation of the medium. There

are so many podcasts out there, and new ones

springing up everyday, that finding shows you

like can be a crapshoot. But there are so many

shows out there, there’s something

out there for everybody.

—Brian Ibbot
