"Podcastless" middle eastern world...

In my previous post i explained the importance of the Podcast, the huge facilities it offers and all the opportunities it can provide to whom creates his own Podcast..Sadly, podcasts are unavailable in the Mideastern world which is very unfortunate seeing all its advantages...
The Arab media is improving day by day, especially the Lebanese media comparing to other Mideastern countries, but it is a shame that it hasn't began podcasting yet..
Nowadays, most of the Lebanese youth traveled and emigrated to foreign countries and while being out there on their own, far from home and their families, they find themselves hanging up to the smallest thread that reminds them of HOME because it gives them a feeling of security..Which brings us again to the importance of Podcasting..the way i see it, podcasting is not only beneficial to the country...We should actually think beyond our country..we should think of all the Lebanese population living outside of Lebanon and are in desperate need of knowing and keeping track with all the latest Lebanese updates especially with today's political situation...
Other than the dreadful political situation in Lebanon, traveling people face the problem of time difference..Due to their constant travels they loose track of news or any other program they got the habit of watching it daily when they were back home..But with the new podcasting technology they are now able to record anything and watch it when ever they feel like it..

If you are wondering why i am talking about this problem that Lebanese emigrants(or any other emigrant) face nowadays, that's because 3/4 of my family is currently living outside Lebanon and are facing this same particular problem...
