I listen to PotterCast, a Harry Potter themed podcast sponsorder by the Leaky Cauldron. It occurs to me that podcasting is allowing for a whole new category of celebrity. People with a computer and a microphone can get their talent out to the world without corporate sponsorship, expensive marketing campaigns, or even professional studios.
Does this mean our culture is becoming so burnt out on corporate copying that we can make celebrities out of “nobodies”?
Just a thought. Now back to work.
