Poll outcome: Do you listen to podcasts?

Yesterday we posted a TUAW poll with the following question: Do you listen to podcasts? As of this writing, 1,382 of you have responded. Here are the results so far: Thirty three percent of you responded, "Yes, I love them," twenty seven percent said "One or two," twenty four percent of you said you've "never" listened to a podcast and fifteen percent claimed that you "rarely" listen.

So most of you have listened at least once. Today I found this article exploring the possibility of placing advertisements in future podcasts. While I think it's nice to compensate podcasters for their efforts (equipment isn't free, after all), I wonder if advertising would alter content. One of the podcasts I frequently listen to often includes some...shall we say, "colorful" language. Will future podcasters wooed by advertising dollars edit their content, in an attempt to attract partners who might shy away from this sort of thing? Would you object to a podcast that featured ads, or do see no problem with podcasters making a buck for their efforts?
