Posted by Alex Williams

Check out the continued growth of podcasting in this chart from Feedburner.

Feedburner reports that they now have 60,000 feeds, of which 6,000 are podcasts.

Other highlights of the Feedburner report:

* Podcasts managed by Feedburner have an average of 33 subscribers, up from an average of 15 in February. Discounting the number of podcasts with less than five subscribers, the average number of subscribers per podcast is in the neighborhbood of 65 listeners.

* Feedburber says that hundreds of podcasts have more than 100 subscribers.

From Feedburner about podcasts and the long-tail effect:

"As we noted in our first podcasting report in February, a typical "long tail" is developing. Granted, these are still very small numbers we are talking about when contrasted with other media, but considering the wealth of additional podcasting tools and services about to come to market, both podcast production and subscription will undoubtedly become easier. So, an order of magnitude leap in attention in just a few months is exciting."
