It's a conflict of interest and generally links to blogs/podcasts are frowned upon unless they were produced by a recognized authority on the subject. If you think the podcast brings substantial information to the article, you're welcome to include it back in. -- Gogo Dodo 18:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
