Podcasts Surpass Radio Stations

Hold on to your hats, podcasts naysayers... Feedburner is reporting that the number of podcast feeds it serves has surpassed the total number of radio stations worldwide. And since Feedburner doesn't have a stranglehold on the podcast market, the actual number of podcasts is certainly much larger.

What's more, the growth they are reporting is pretty impressive. Podcast feed creation through feedburner is growing at 15% per month, and subscribers to podcast feeds are growing at 20% per month.

One more interesting note... Feedburner has seen more downloaders than subscribers. This reinforces the idea that there's a large potential audience outside of iTunes.
