i'm not surprised car company's are jumping on board, but you have to wonder if it weren't for satelite radio showing the world that broadcasting corporations actually would find a way to charge the listeners for audio programming, would podcasting have blown up as fast as it has?

it definitely seems like the instinct to have access to free information and entertainment will remain dominate (even if the audio is of lesser quality and/or comes with advertisements). i think the instinct to find the real people and the real, un-preprocessed ideas also plays a huge role in its success.
