Low-bandwidth Internet plans can make even downloading podcasts problematic. If you’re hearing-impaired, definitely not an option. But there are lots of situations where listening isn’t an option or isn’t the consumer’s preferred option. Podcasts are awesome because audio can be listened to while you’re doing something else, like washing the dishes, washing the car, cycling the hills of Ireland or commuting to work.
