Heather mentions SMASHcast, the student podcast. That’s at http://smashcast.org

I recently did a long IM interview with the originator of that program, Mini Kahlon, that turned out very interesting. It’s at http://netsquared.org/kahlon She could be a good person to have on this show too, Tom. She’s very smart, tells great stories about the program.

Marilynn,

thanks for your comment - this interview was an unusual one for me. It was on a topic about which I actually knew something - hence my becoming more involved. Normally I edit myself out of these podcasts as much as possible and let the interviewee do the talking but this time, I kept my own contribution in - I wasn’t sure how it would go. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

You are right, of course, about tv being supplanted somewhat by video blogs - however, the quality (esp. with the dawn of HDTV) of the tv pic will help it to maintain its dominance for the present, I think.

Excellent interview. I love the format because it truly does feel like you’re eavesdropping on a conversation between two people who share a passion and have a lot of knowledge. I love Heather’s honesty, never coming across as “of course I knew that.” Regarding the comments about video being slower to catch on: don’t forget that there are hundreds of thousands of commuters who DON’T drive to/from work, but take a train, bus or carpool. They’re an ideal audience for a video podcast. Also, one of the beauties of video podcasting is that you can download a podcast, pop it in your docking station and watch it on TV. So if the content is compelling enough, video podcasts will, in fact, supplant TV in some cases. Maybe we’ll start looking forward to rerun season because it’ll give us “free” time to watch stored up podcasts!

D’Oh!

And you’d think I’d be more sensitive to that what with people constantly mis-spelling my name!

I have corrected it now in the post - thanks for pointing it out.

Cheers,

Tom.
