‘Podcasts are there as entertainment for your ears while your eyes are busy. That’s the fundamental thing that podcasting offers – and that radio offers, by the way – and if you turn it into television or, in podcasting’s case, if you turn into cheap television, I fail to understand where the benefit is’

@js in comparing TV vs. radio/podcasting audio, this much is true: the pictures are better on the latter.

@js one good example about the power of audio is how " This American Life" thrives for decades as radio and podcasting but failed as TV.

@patrascan it's almost like they are completely different mediums

@js each has its own language but I'd argue that audio has can ignite a person's internal visual imagination (not to mention other senses) in ways that other media cannot. Which is not to say a visual medium lacks its own special qualities!
