The Boston Globe on Podcasting
“If Internet-based weblogs turned everyone into a potential newspaper columnist, and digital cameras let them become photojournalists, podcasting is promising to let everyone with a microphone and a computer become a radio commentator.”
This quote sounds like a variation on something Jay Rosen said at the Votes, Bits, & Bytes conference that was mentioned during the session on podcasting. I wonder if Peter J. Howe was in the audience.
Steve Garfield, whom I’ve met a few times, was interviewed for the article and makes some important comments on his blog.
Addendum: Steven Cohen wonders if libraries/librarians should adopt this technology. Of course we should! I could imagine doing podcasts to talk about library events, do audio tutorials, assist sight-impaired users, or even just to reach out to remote clients.
Bob, I await your virtual concert.
