I don't think those are the problems that led to the "failure" of podcasts and companies like odeo. Sure they are nice problems to solve, but they don't fix the real issue.

Odeo tried to solve the wrong problem. iTunes and tools like GarageBand solved the content and distribution problem. Odeo was never going to compete with that. What was needed was a scalable solution for monetizing podcasts that worked across platforms.
