The number of people who download free serial audio programs, or podcasts, is set to explode over the next few years, according to a new report.
Researchers at The Diffusion Group predicted this week that the U.S. podcast audience will climb from 840,000 last year to 56 million by 2010. By that time, three-quarters of all people who own portable digital music players will listen to podcasts, up from less than 15 percent last year, the digital entertainment research group said.

Wow, I saw a ten * growth in consumption between Wednesday June 29, 2005 and Wednesday July 6, 2005. I'm almost nervious to think ahead to 2010. I think I have it bad, but Carl Franklin at DNR has got MAJOR bandwidth issues.
