Virgin Atlantic's move into podcast-based destination guides is a smart idea. It provides info to the consumer for free in the form of an independent guide.

This development got Influx thinking about other categories and ideas for Podcasts. What categories Podcasting could work for and what the subject material could be. In many cases, it would make sense if independent third parties, created the podcats on behalf of brands. There are obviously huge opportunities here for publishers already playing in these spaces, to create custom or contract Podcasts.

Here's our list and please feel free to add and let us know who is already doing this.
