Podcasts could unleash a new age of enlightenment - Really interesting piece that makes the observations that podcasts are changing how people interact, then draws some very compelling parallels with the enlightenment, which it turns out was the period where parasocial relationships emerged. It's a nice painting, I just wish I had more personal experience of the changes he speaks of, sadly though I listen to a ton of podcasts, I don't interact socially with many podcast listeners, though it's nice to hear that it's thing. www.wired.com #
