Steve Jobs was speaking at the Wall Street Journal D conference last night, and was showing off some podcasting features in iTunes 4.9, which is due out sometime in the next 60 days. For the time being, the podcasts will be offered as free content, and will be selected by Apple instead of allowing users to subscribe to their own using RSS.

It will be interesting to see how they incorporate it into the iTunes package, as well as which ones the decide to include.
