Large media companies constantly bombard the podcast market, predominately the Apple iTunes store, with pre recorded or time shifted radio and TV content. Podcasters who create free content can not compete with the huge followings generated by commercially based content producers and therefore quickly become lost in the background noise in the podcast directories.
