So it was pretty cool to pop a little mp3 in my blog - I can see how this could enhance the whole blogging experience. There are some things that just are better communicated with sound...imagine blogging about your new favorite musical artist.... now imagine blogging about said artist AND including an mp3 podcast of them. Or how about those bragger blog's where people talk about all the wonderful things their kids do...and including the trumpet solo or soliloquy from the school play. I can definitely see where an occasional podcast popped into a blog would be an enhancement.
Where I see a problem is if you are a text based blogger who learns a new trick and includes podcasts in every blog - that would get tiresome and not serve the purpose of the blog. People are not always in a situation where they can listen (think cube farm at work and no headset...) when what they are expecting to do is read.
So podcasts in blogs are kinda like pop-in's from people - no big deal that you didn't know ahead of time for the occasional pop-in...but really quite annoying when it becomes habitual!
