A free two-hour discussion on "Podcasting: The Next Big Broadcast Phenomenon?" -- including wireless -- will be held in New York on October 18. (No press release available, at least now.)
The event is sponsored by The Producers Guild of America New Media Council, The Emmy Awards Advanced Media Committee, in cooperation with the New School Department of Media Studies and Film and the Parsons Department of Design and Technology. It will be held at 65 Fifth Avenue at the Swayduck Auditorium.
Panelists include Jason McCabe Calacanis, chairman and co-founder of Weblogs, Inc.; Robert Spier, manager of Online Station Services for National Public Radio; Jordan Lyall, founder of Podfly.com and Peter Rojas, editor-in-chief of Engadget.

Attendance is free but reservations are required by e-mailing pga-ny@producersguild.org.
"Paradigm shift"...and mobile
Palmer says in the press release, "The paradigm shift from network to networked television is happening, and the ability to search for content -- particularly user-generated content -- on the Web is now reaching a tipping point where producers actively build in online promotions and extensions of content to increase awareness and distribution of original productions.
"The podcast phenomenon has created a greater dialogue around syndication of Web content, and how the mobile Internet enables a new kind of interaction between producers and consumers.”
