A 2004 column by John C. Dvorak is revisited, in which he famously claimed podcasting was "not ready for prime time." The article described podcasting as a "kludge" that was too difficult for non-Mac users to access and ranked it below "whittling wood" and "fingernail clipping" in terms of entertainment value. Dvorak stands by the accuracy of the technical criticisms at the time, noting that the medium eventually succeeded once it moved beyond the "Mac-head" community.
