Open source podcasting
I just love the ideals and ethos surrounding open source, and it's always an inspiration to hear of different projects (especially creative ones) drawing on this methodology. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I was contacted by a man named Ronald Lewis this week. He plans to take an open source approach to podcasting by gathering a global production team for several of the podcasts he currently produces. You can read more about his idea here…you may even want to get involved.
I also came across blogtalkradio.com which takes a similar approach to Ron, but with a focus on opening up the content opposed to production, in the creation of online talkback radio shows. BlogTalkRadio enables anyone who registers on their website to schedule show times and receive callers through an assigned phone number.
Going back to podcasting, for a while now I have been toying with the idea of turning our film submissions into podcasts. This would give our community alternative ways to watch/ experience the films on our website. On the flip side, this would also mean another step for participants to take when submitting their films. Anyway I would be interested to what you think of this idea.
