Audio, Video, and Podcasts

I've recently stumbled upon this hookah-related online radio show. It's one of the few hookah shows on the net. This is informative in some ways, as the first episode talks about good and bad hookahs. The creator, Matt, wants it to be very community-centered, with user-submitted music. Everything is done in a pretty professional manner, and while not perfect, fills a slot in the hookah community that's been missing for a long time.
Why has it been missing, though? Surely, in this age of iPods and hologram rappers, hookah culture should have proper representation in the audio field. It's not a popular activity, I suppose; cigarettes are much more popular (though, in my opinion, are disgusting). Still, not even cigarettes have a similar show, as far as I know. Smoking as a hobby is pretty ignored -- but it is a hobby. If football can have shows dedicated to it, why not hookah, or at least a "smoking general show"? We need more things like the show linked above.
