My local paper talks about Podcasting…and Me.

Chuck and I have been doing Technorama for almost 2 years now. (That in itself is hard to imagine) It has been fascinating to see Podcasting grow over the last few years, and Technorama as well.

It has grown so much now that my local paper The Herald even wrote an article about it….

It’s podcasting, and as Steppe described, “it transcends a radio station.” After all, there are no call letters. No paid DJs. Just some technologically skilled folks connecting through a common interest. Podcasts can be about anything and any length.

BTW…I don’t really consider myself a World Wide DJ….LOL
