Podcasting makes the Front Page of NYTimes

The groundwork for podcasting was set back in 2001 when Dave Winer added a "Payload" to RSS. But it wasn't til this past summer (2004) when Adam Curry wrote a script to carry the payload into iTunes and then to your iPod that the term and practice of podcasting took off.
Last week podcasting got attention in USA Today. Today podcasting was a front page story in the NYTimes. The Times story was more of the odd people do odd things tale that has dogged bloggers to me, but Dave Winer saw the article as mostly positive.
What's your take on podcasting and on the article?
