Wow, but somehow it seems you have to be really an extrovert type to be interviewed in podcasts or even interviewing, doing video calls and such things.
I'm somehow too much of an introvert I guess. Also still hate giving presentations, sadly.
Yeah, I once turned down the possibility of an interview for a huge podcast I guess (at least he seems to have a really big audience for Java related stuff). I asked if he could write about my Open Source project in his blog and he thought it would be far better to do a podcast with me and that it has a much better impact on generating some traction... and as I've never done anything like that I said, that I'm too much of an introvert and turned it down. So, you're for sure right.

But great article :-)
I end up telling people this a lot. I'm pretty introverted, I had to work really hard to be comfortable with being out of my comfort zone.
That being said, I do think this industry has a bias favoring extroverts.
