Also in the WSJ on Friday was a story about Clear Channel’s plans to start podcasting.

Clear Channel ‘s podcasting initiative will begin by May. The company will allow listeners to download programming such as comedy skits by popular morning show hosts. But music programming, which involves complicated licensing and royalty issues, won’t be included in the podcasts. Podcasting in general is focused mostly on talk-radio formats.

Well, I guess podcasting is finally going mainstream.
