From Blog to Pod Part 2

The real Blog to Pod post. I will not be sidetracked by Necrophiliac news or dead and dying dignitaries this time.
There was and definitely still is movement at the station. That is, community Radio Station NimFM where I and most of the other staff work as volunteers. The live-to-air experiment (Internet linkup going live to air) raised great interest. Mark's lucid explanation of podcasting has finally dispelled the confusion in some minds between live streaming and putting some of our sound logs and programs on the net as easy-to-access mp3 sound files.

Technicians have been rounded up and they are enthusiastically putting leads and links into the broadcast studio to streamline the process. We are just waiting for the NimFM webmaster to come down from out of the hills to investigate the feasibility of putting up the broadcast of the upcoming Mardi-Grass festival into a podcasting format online on or near our website. Very exciting if it happens - especially for the thousands of international visitors who come here for that celebration, and who will probably be emailing their friends back home to access it, or loading it down onto their ipods. The Station policy that weekend is for all presenters to go out and get the street action - live vox-pops,live bands, chat with the ganja fairies ... (Me? I'm going to go home and cover my ears ... :-) )
