Until I got the Nokia N80, I did not own an iPod or any type of player, so no chance to listen.

This, Olandres explained, was due to “inherent barriers” not limited to the Philippines, but found in all developing countries: low internet penetration and broadband connectivity.   [...] [...] Some weeks ago, Abe Olandres, who some call the guru of Pinoy blogging, asked the question: “Will podcasting pick up in the Philippines?” He said he was “still a bit skeptical,” and predicted there could be a surge in listeners, but not in Filipinos actually producing podcasts.

That comes out to 12 GB/month. You can also try LibSyn.com which not penalize your podcast if it gets too popular. :-) Anyway, I'll patiently wait for your podcast. When the listener is ready, the podcaster will appear. Hi Abe,

You can even stretched it to 1,000 if you will. But look at the bandwidth here 20MB x 1,000 downloads x 2/week x 4weeks. That's about 160GB of bandwidth. Hole in the pocket. I did try to record a podcast twice, only to scrap it altogether. I'm the worst critic of myself. Manuel,

You're right... it takes a whole lot more than 15 minutes to produce a 10-minute podcast. As for the staleness issue, this can be alleviated by podcasting about evergreen topics. Or if popular radio comentaristas will upload their shows daily, then that can lock-in some amount of freshness. Podcasting personality and delivery? The same can be said for blogging and writing. Then again, the lack of personality has its own special kind of charm. :-) I'm looking forward to hearing your podcast someday, Abe. Kahit isa man lang.
