"Godcasts” becoming more popular

From podcasting to modcasting...now to godcasting!! Will sociology be the next thing - sodcasting!

"Podcasting is a huge and growing phenomenon. One reason is religious podcasts, or “godcasts.”

“I would say probably anywhere from 10 percent to 20 percent of the podcasts available online have some dimension of religion or spiritual life to them,” estimates Lee Ranie of the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

Godcasts are created by houses of worship from every denomination, and from around the world. The wide selection is good news for web worshippers.

That religion and spirituality have found a niche in this new technology should not be a surprise. Nearly two thirds of the nation's 128 million Internet users have used the Internet for faith-related matters, according to study last year by the Pew Internet & American Life Project."
