The BBC has a little piece about podcasting. I'm not so sure that podcasting will make anyone millions, but I share the overall excitement of the potential of podcasting. I recently joined the cult of the iPod, having purchased a blue 6GB mini partly because I want to get in on the podcasting action. On my way to work this morning, I listened to Roots Rock Radio, which features indie roots rock, rockabilly, garage rock, and alt country bands who aren't being played on mainstream radio. It's a great little show - where else can you hear a roots rock band from Spain? (That would be Sugar Mountain.) I've also listened to Really Learn Spanish, which gives practical advice and focuses on one problem topic at a time. Not to mention that someone podcasts old Jean Shepherd radio shows! I can't wait to start listening to them. [Link][comments?][Karma: 57 ( + / - )]
A Canadian blogger on his way to NYC for a six-week contract to set up a company with blogging software was prevented from entering the U.S. because the border guard didn't believe that anyone could make money with blogs. During three hours of questioning, the border guard insisted that the blogger stop lying and tell the guard why the blogger was really going to the U.S. The blogger never got to the U.S. and had to recommend a friend to take his place in the contract. |
