Dave Winer at Scripting News reports on a new Pew Internet survey indicating six million American adults have listened to podcasts so far. The survey does not include Americans under 18. (I’d bet we could add another million or two of these users to the total.) Along with this interesting news, the Pew report is also valuable as an accessible explanation of podcasting. As way leads on to way, I note the Pew report also cites the podcasting article in Wikipedia, further evidence of that resource’s growth in public stature and perceived value as a reference source.

Scripting News also reports that Peterson’s, the college admissions advising and information service, has added podcast-enabled audio to its pages.
