Podcast site comparison Mr. Odeo himself (Evan Williams) posted a round up of the various podcasting sites out there and what they all have to offer and how they rank traffic wise. It's good to have all this data for these sites in one post. Here's what he says about his native Odeo:

Odeo has switched focus a few times since its launch in July of 2005. It started out as a podcast directory (audio-only) with, at the time, fairly advanced features like one-click subscribe, its own download client, play-on-the-page, and limited social functionality. Later, podcast creation (via web-based recorder and phone) was added, before launching a new home page that put more of a focus on personal audio messaging, rather than radio-show podcasting. In may, we moved the podcast publishing tools (including upload) to Odeo Studio, refocusing odeo.com as an audio directory, with an emphasis on listening online (as opposed to subscribe and download) and more social features.
