With younger audiences being drawn to iTunes, mp3s, and podcasts.. what are the effects on radio? Research has show that younger radio audiences (ages 12-24) are slowly slipping away. Audiences are able to find more specialized media through podcasts as opposed to turning on the radio and listening to talk shows and music.

Tim Gordon, expert in the digital recording realm, agrees that podcasting has had a huge effect on radio over the past couple of years and will continue to do so.

As far as radio and podcasts go, what's your preference?
