Though I have heard of Podcast, I have never had the oppurtunity to try or use it. But with 14 things, I have learn a lot on way to harness this technology to reach my audience. As I made mention about flicker, the same will be applied since they are all in the same medium only that flicker is visual while podcast is audio.
This will be most useful during programs like World Aids Day, Black History Month, MLK Day and most importantly the advocacy for volunteerism and reading habit for my community. In my years of experience at the corner, I have come to understand that due to some unforsein circumtances, some of my contacts find it difficult to attend the program and this is not because they dont want to, but the time constrain. And so by recording all the activities be it video or audio, the medium will be shared for those who are interested in watching or listening in the case of podcasting.
Excellent insights! Very good work. You might also look at the BBC for podcasts on world events. I think you would like it!
