"You are the hottest thing in… 2006"

(Text post)

Podcheck listeners are predominantly fellow podcasters, and each one of you shapes the new media landscape.  Whether you have 5 listeners or 5,000 listeners, you touch the lives of others who, in turn, influence the world in which we live.

YOU are the hottest thing in podcasting.”  I first said that last year in 2005 when Rush Limbaugh released his podcast and declared that he was the biggest thing since sliced bread.  While his audience is massive, your audience has more potential to influence your world than Rush Limbaugh’s audience.  New spheres of influence are emerging, and new media consumption patterns, interrelationships, and affinities are coming to light.  You are fueling change.

Time Magazine seems to agree.  Time Magazine just named you “Person of the Year” for 2006.

Enjoy your new-found recognition, and never give up your passion.
