Forgive me...I'm finally getting to some old posts that I haven't had
time for.
The subject line says:
The future of tech comm: podcasting?
To this, I say a resounding no.

instead:
Is Podcasting in the future of tech comm?
I'd offer a resounding Yes. Anything where technical instruction can
be disseminated is always worth considering.
