    This article talks about how 2013 was the years for podcasting. There are a number of factors that play in the rejuvenation of the podcasts popularity. Riismandel first says that the popularity came back when main stream comedians started use the podcast medium as a way to share their comedy with their audience. This brought back a big audience, but comedians can't be thanked alone. In order for podcasting to maintain this growth it needs to become sustainable, meaning people need to make profit from their podcasts. The launch of a podcast advertising agency did just that. This is good news for the future of podcasting because it is now a business instead of a hobby. Another point Riismandel makes is that the ease of accessibility to download podcasts via apps has helped with the growth it has seen in 2013.

      While crowdsourcing is all the rage this days, ranging anywhere from film making (seeking funding on pirate websites) to video game funding, yet not so long ago crowdsourcing was a new concept. This article is one of more early examples of such funding in its infancy.  Article dates from 2009. Please note that such examples that are covered in this article geared towards financing funding as opposed to innovation and idea funding. In first article out of five we will look at early stages, in following article climax of financial/social success will be covered with ultimately looking on last two articles how such crowdsourcing ideas have failed and succeeded.
