Overall, I think each medium has both pros and cons - blogging for its speed and podcasts for thier portability. Each also has a very specific type of audience. For the more casual user blogging is a very easy way to get thier message read, while podcasting is a more complicated way of getting thier message heard. For the end user the medium varies in how it can be obtatined and options for reading.
