On Wednesday afternoon, Bill Simmons, known to the ESPN world as The Sports Guy , broadcasted his inaugural Podcast. He opened his show by describing how nice it was to go to work in sweats and comfy clothes. All work should be done this way, he said. It's simple to find, the Bill Simmons break box is located not even halfway down the ESPN homepage. The link to listen is there and before you know it, you're arguing with the Red Sox fan through your computer about Roger Clemens' return or Hank Aaron's homerun record.
Nonetheless, this means that Podcasting has now reached one of its toughest to reach audiences: the old white guys. My dad would love this--if he could figure it out.
