Sirius is latching onto the podcasting phenomenon, launching a show later this month that will feature a daily selection of the increasingly popular do-it-yourself audio programs.
The move by Sirius comes just days after Viacom Inc.s Infinity Broadcasting unit said it would convert a struggling talk radio station in San Francisco to an all-podcast format.
The show, which Sirius was expected to formally announce on Monday, will begin broadcasting weekdays on May 13. It will be hosted by Adam Curry, the former MTV personality who helped create the technological tools that allow podcasting to work. The show will be broadcast on Sirius channel 148, a talk-radio station that does carry commercials, unlike Sirius all-music channels.
Podcasts are essentially audio files made by amateurs and uploaded to the Internet where they can be shared with other listeners, either at their computers or on portable digital listening devices such as Apple Computers hot-selling iPod - thus the name podcast a combination of pod and broadcast.
