In that discussion I made the case that media studies ought to think seriously about podcasts as both a media form and a media industry, and to do so it would need to account for its historical over-emphasis on visual forms of popular media (film, television, and print advertising) and its under-investment in studying sound media (radio, music, and recording.)

In my brief remarks, I offered the long-running podcast Uhh Yeah Dude as a promising case study for examining the ways that podcasting represents a distinct media form and distribution system than previous forms of audio content.
