There are both audio and video podcasts, video podcasts tend to have their video available on Youtube. Some have commercials, some don't. The first thing you learn about podcast hosts is that each has their own quirks and almost none are professional. To me that is one of the draws of a podcast is that you get to hear from a regular type instead of a bought and paid for host/expert in many cases, although there are many professional/expert podcast hosts such as Tom Gresham, Massad Ayoob, Kenn Blanchard, ect.Abraham wrote:Are Podcasts akin to blogs, or You tube, but strictly verbal?
If so, presumably there are few commercials to listen to?
As who enjoys listening to audio books, I can see where Podcasts may have value if the speaker knows his subject well, speaks clearly and doesn't make amateurish verbal errors, i.e., constantly saying "you know" or issuing long "ahs" between sentences.
I've read a few blogs. The vast majority were mediocre to embarrassingly bad with a few here and there that were excellent. I'm guessing Podcasts are similar?

Re: Any Podcast Listeners?
There are 4 podcast networks I feel worth mentioning to the firearms enthusiast:
These four represent most, if not all, firearm podcasts that are part of a network. There are still independant podcasts out there, however I am not going to name the only one I can think off because I don't want to come off as self serving.
