Feedburner alone has more podcast feeds than there are radio stations worldwide. The number of podcasts outstripped radio stations before March 17th 2006 (as reported here). Fueling this growth and the inevitable hype is not technology or a MP3 player boom but compelling radio content not heard in decades since the over formatting of radio began. - Brian Greene (podcast consultant at doop.ie)
