When I used podcasts they were usually downloaded and could be played
any time without a internet connection. That makes them interesting for
longer flights or ship travelling. And many users build libraries of
podcasts.

And this is also far less environmental impact than streaming.
People should do the same with any media content (video tutorials
 on YouTube, music, movies...)
That's also why real FM radio is better than webradio.

Well - there is no big difference if you download 100 MB as one file or
stream it using HLS with smaller segments. In the end you will download
100 MB data.

 
You are right... if you are going to stream it only once.
If you are going to play it several times, streaming gets worst
 than downloading.

Indeed. But podcasts are usually only listened once and not repeated on
a regular basis.

But on the other hand using data media like CD/DVD/BD
was also not ideal since these media had to be produced first.

There must be few giga free on your private storage. Anyway usb
 sticks, memory cards... are not throwaway items.

My available private storage is around 30 TB in total, distributed over
three servers, two NAS and a number of computers and smartphones ;-)
