Intrusion exclusion
Dave's Advertising-in-the-age-of-podcasts Manifesto put's the future in a blogshell. The pull quote:
Unfortunately for people who are intrusive assholes, there's not much they can do. Hopefully they made a lot of money in the last century and can retire and be totally puzzled by the way things turned out.

Go there, do that, cause the t-shirt
From Competition in the Podcast Space by Brad Gibson,
There are days when I think podcasting will be the next disco. Fun, important and off the radar screen for awhile, then co-opted by mass media and mass marketing. But you know what? After disco "died", it went back to being interesting again and out of that came a bunch of really cool records in the '80's. You will know how important podcasting is when you see someone wearing a "Podcasting Sucks" t-shirt.
