Podcasts Cooking at iTunes |
Some ideas catch on like viruses. You don't just download anymore -- you iTune. Do you instant message or do you iChat? You could keep this up for iDays.
Now you can iCook, too. The world of food, cooking and restaurants has found a niche in podcasting's popularity. A form of downloadable audio files structured like serialized radio programs, podcasts cover a wide array of topics and subjects, including food and dining.
Early forms of podcasts have existed on the e-highway since 2002. As of June 28, Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iTunes software will have included support for podcasts for a year. Before, separate programs called aggregators were needed to organize and keep track of various podcasts if you didn't do so manually.
With a one-stop shop to sample podcasts and automatically subscribe for new episodes to download to your computer, iTunes has become a podcast destination. Within its first two days of supporting podcasts, iTunes received 1 million subscriptions. It doesn't hurt that most podcasts on iTunes are free.
All of the more popular food-related podcasts available are on iTunes -- a mix of programming from National Public Radio, television segments, national media such as the New York Times and recordings of chats with big-name celebrity chefs and homegrown shows. Some focus on food-related issues, others are right there in the kitchen, talking you through a recipe.
