What are the advantages and disadvantages of podcasting?

What will be an ideal response?

The greatest advantage is that it is a controlled medium. Because the audience is
self-selecting, it is ideal for reaching niche publics. It is also relatively
inexpensive. It is also allows the audience to time-shift and use the medium when

medium's effectiveness. This is especially true if podcasting is part of an
integrated marketing communications campaign. Because its audiences are selfselecting,
it is difficult to attract publics that are not already engaged in the topic.
