In many respects, they are like radio shows (with the presenter and guests mimicking radio DJs and hosts) and hence can be characterized as disruptive to that traditional business. They are becoming more and more popular with listeners as they become more widely available. Podcasts are a means for individuals to communicate their ideas and talents to a wide audience of individuals interested in niche topics and looking for specific commentary or presentation on a topic.

There are many subject matters for podcasts with the most popular being political commentary, comedy, and current affairs. Internet radio providers, who rely on paying subscribers, have sprung up to stream in-house produced podcasts sorted by subject matter.
