Yes, good reading... but mind-numbingly horrible as a podcast. The guy is just reading an essay out-loud!

Very few people can successfully podcast in a monologue format. The only person that comes to mind is Malcom Gladwell.

I agree. Monologue podcasts either work really well, or poorly. I'm a fan of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" podcast.
