Learning about podcasting

I've learned a lot about podcasting in the past several weeks. Mike Dunn (a founding member of our CTO Advisory Council and fellow traditional media company veteran) has been quietly bringing me around to the concept. Mike introduced me to Eric Rice earlier this week over a great dinner, and I learned even more from one of the real pros (incidentally, one who has blazed the trail for sponsored webcasts). Aside from podcasting, I learned that the video you can capture with a Canon digital camera is actually pretty good (a cheap Canon SD110 in my case -- I had always ignored the video feature). This inspired me to sign up for ourmedia and upload a couple of not-so-artistic videos from my Canon to my ourmedia page (at the time of this post, the videos were still being processed and were not yet available -- ourmedia is very cool, but still in alpha. If you haven't heard of it, definitely check it out. FAQ here).

Back to podcasting. . . . Mike writes in his blog entry:

teaser: look for something else exciting from one (maybe two) of us sooner rather than later

Stay tuned!
