iTunes Passes 1 Billion Podcast Subscriptions
I’m a huge consumer of podcasts. I subscribe to at least half a dozen weekly shows which I listen to in the car, while walking the dog and while jogging. And I also do one. (See Geeks & Beats here and on iTunes here. You should subscribe. Really. New episodes every Wednesday!)
And lots of other people are into podcasts, too. A little more than eight years after launching podcast downloads, iTunes announced that there are more than 1 billion podcast subscriptions.
From iTunes:
From comedy to hard news to sports to innovative educational content and so much more, podcasting has transformed the global media landscape. Podcasts on iTunes launched in the summer of 2005 and since then, we’ve seen countless episodes downloaded and streamed. But the heart of podcasting is finding your favorite voices in this exciting field and subscribing to the best ones. To celebrate reaching 1 billion podcast subscriptions, we’re highlighting some of the most popular podcasts of all time, as well as a collection of captivating new shows.
Remember when people said that podcasts wouldn’t catch on? Pffft.

I'm curious what podcasts are your personal faves Alan. Have you ever talked about that on here before and I missed it? (I do enjoy G&B by the way. Look forward to it every Wednesday)
