Casting Calls via PodCast?

I was reading through one of my magazines and noticed that "casting calls" aren't necessarily done via face-to-face auditions or mailed in videos (way too old fashioned I guess). This particular ad from Lifefitness calls participants via a pod cast....Podfitness.com/castingcall. Interesting and most likely less time- and money-consuming for Lifefitness. Is this new or am I just late noticing?

I wouldnt say that its a new trend, but I guess an emerging trend. I had a friend that made it through a few rounds for the MTV's show "Real World" and she had to send in a half hour video of herself. I thought that it was very interesting because not only are you interviewing yourself, but you have to have some editing skills as well. Interesting story though. :)
