Podcasts on Pandora is finally here. I’ve been listening to Pandora for a long time. I love them as online radio. I remember when they first started. Pandora has an awesome platform. They allow you to create your own stations choosing music artists. Now, they allow you to submit your own music and comedy. So I think it’s time for some podcasts.

If you podcast about music and artists, Pandora would probably be great for you to include your podcasts. You would be right there where music is. You wouldn’t have to worry about having a license to play music if Pandora allowed you to add our podcasts to your music station. At Pandora you would probably reach a music audience somehow.

The question is do we really need online radio to include podcasts? If you podcast, you are already kind of building your own online radio, although you may not have a license to play the music. If you could get a license, you would have the whole ball of wax.

Podcasters that podcast about music may consider including their podcasts to radio. Others may feel like they don’t need radio at all. Podcasting has many different categories and subjects; things that radio may not include. I believe that Pandora has recognized that.

Another question is how will Pandora include podcasting? Will Pandora include all podcasters or will they include celebrity podcasters? There are a number of ways things could be done. I’m Gail Nobles and that’s the podcast news for today.
