It might be somewhat self-serving and preachy to explain how important the role of podcasting could be to the world of wrestling.

But I stumbled across this story from the Chicago Tribune about podcasting.
If you're still unsure about the format, read this, it'll give you some insight on why I believe this will be a beneficial product to our sport.

I believe in podcasts.
I subscribe to 33 of them, some of which come out daily.

I believe that this medium — which celebrated its unofficial 10th birthday on the first National Podcast Day on Tuesday — is ideal for our busy, mobile, on-demand lives.
