Analysts say “Erotic” Podcast Market is Underserved?

Erotic Podcast Market?  Apparently so.  The analysts have spoken — podcasting is hot, and the market is jumping for more podcasts.  Especially, they seem to imply, “erotic” podcasts.  Frank Barnako of Marketwatch writes:

While 40% of the Internet-delivered audio shows focus on music, science, technology and comedy, the most popular category for users is erotica, according to Alex Nesbitt, president of Bella Ventures Inc. ‘The supply is not yet meeting market demands,’ he wrote in a just-released analysis titled, ‘The Podcast Value Chain Report.’”

In other words, we’re not sure what category is the most under-served. He also predicts that in the “near future” the market for podcasting tools and accessories will top $400 million.  What with the hot trend towards podcasting and the already-booming Internet pr0n business sector, of course “adult” podcasts are popular.  However, I wouldn’t put my chips on Erotic Podcasting as a sure bet, despite this apparent “popularity.” 

Think of all the hand-wringing there’ll be when there’s “too much Porn on the Pods!”
