Simon Kelner and podcasts

Last week's Guardian interview with Indy boss Simon Kelner seems to have stirred up a bit of a fuss - especially over his views on podcasts. The likeable Mr. Kelner apparently complained to the Guardian that the above headline differed from what he actually says in the interview itself ("I've never met anyone who ever listens to podcasts"). Whether he has a point or not I'll leave to others to judge, but I have since listened back to my recording of the interview... The quote is "I've never met anyone who ever bloody listens to them [podcasts]!" (Can't recall why I decided to drop the 'bloody'). However, he later appears to change his mind, conceding that "podcasts...do have their value..." He cites the Indy's own Angus Fraser's podcasts on the Ashes as offering "a service to the reader". So presumably he does occasionally listen to them after all...
