I listened to the Gillmor Gang Monday night and heard Adam Curry talk about his conversations with Steve Jobs about podcasting. Striking is how much Apple seems to get it. Podcasting fits into the DIY decade of self-expression, which increasingly seems to be the theme of Apple's product ecosystem.
Now it looks as if Microsoft is getting into the podcasting game. I see (via Steve Rubel and the Seattle PI) that Microsoft is putting together a podcasting team. Scoble made the hint on his blog.
Curry said that Microsoft was quick to give him a call after the reports of Jobs doing a demo of iTunes podcatching capabilities at last week's Wall Street Journal's "D: All Things Digital" conference.
