Comments on: http://thedunns.ca/2008/08/27/269/ Tales from a New Brunswick family that <3's the internets Wed, 02 May 2012 21:49:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rick http://thedunns.ca/2008/08/27/269/comment-page-1/#comment-675 Rick Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:20:17 +0000 http://thedunns.ca/2008/08/27/269/#comment-675 A few reasons for the idea: 1) I used to be quite involved in campus radio, and enjoyed that community. 2) I would be doing it with a buddy of mine from that community (he's currently in Bridgewater), which makes for 2-way dialogue rather than more 1-dimensional blogging (yes, I know about comments... not the same). I think a conversation would be more rich than me trying to think of something to type. 3) I'm really in to listening to podcasts... I find them much more portable than blogs. 4) I would like to craft my own theme music/jingles/etc. using my piano. I'm not saying I would stop blogging altogether, but I'm having more luck with microblogging right now than long-winded entries (Twitter, etc.) and a podcast seems like a good way to supplement that.

What would you podcast? Why would the podcast be better than a blog entry? What can the podcast offer that the written word cannot, etc etc? [i'm wary of podcasts. i find them to be less user-friendly that simple text-based media.] i wonder about the duplication-of-content sort of thing. What would you podcast?
