"Most people I see doing podcasting now do the talk, computer, hobby/interests type of subjects. . .which is fine," states Dub. "But I see the possibilities growing to enable people to go into more journalistic areas. Just as bloggers have grown into a power to be reckoned with in the media (Gannongate for example). So podcasting and video blogging will be the next logcal evolutionary step." Dub is a developer and writer that has worked with several media-related sites in the past, including Downhill Battle and IndyMedia. Dub plans to cover reporting and editing using primarily open source or free tools. "I had not seen a site focused on helping people to use these new(er) technologies to expand their own power in terms of media coverage." Topics and projects at the site include: Dub adds, "We are not focused on any political/social leanings (right, left-wing, progressive, etc) - only focused on educating people on leveraging technology to create news and media instead of the old model of in-taking it from those who could afford to be the media." CommentsFor the last year, or so, Dan G. and I -- both working print reporters -- have had a two-hour newstalk program on the slightly more conventional low power FM radio format. See: www.ltobs.blogspot.com It's been fun and exciting, but we'd like to expand into the iPod technology for various syncretic reasons. So far, lacking an iPod guru or geek to help us interpret the how-to instructions posted here and there, we've got no place in assembling it all. We'd like to do an on-air interview someone who knows about this stuff and can explain it in reasonably no technical language to our listeners.
