Many businesses are using podcasting, both for internal and external
purposes. BusinessWeek magazine is using podcasting extensively to
provide an alternative method for communicating with subscribers. The
magazine is also devoting extensive resources to covering podcasting.
CNN provides podcasts of its content through its web site. "Toyota
has launched a podcast campaign to promote its Lexus IS, in
partnership with Vibe Magazine and independent hiphop/jazz fusion
recerd label Hidden Beach Recordings." "Lexus Uses Blog Ads to Promote
Podcast Campaign"
