GarageBand.com Moves into Podcasting

The boys and girls at GarageBand.com have launched Gcast, which claims to be the most refined offering yet if you're looking to create, publish and distribute your podcast. I took a look at the service, and was underwhelmed. They do aim to offer free hosting, the ability to mix your playlists online, telephone recording (oooh! imagine the quality! count the listeners who will say - eeehh, no.), free podsafe music, a free flash player....hmm. Nothing about actually creating compelling content. I guess that's up to you?

Too bad it doesn't look all that appealing. I really like the GarageBand.com site and the concept. I'll be curious to see how its received by their audience.

Of course, here's the plug: for the Creating Killer Content System, there's always Podcasting Adventures Online.
