The Podcast Conundrum
I’ll admit that I really like listening to podcasts and I certainly have a few favorites that I make an earnest attempt to keep up on. There is a collaborative element to a good podcast that you can’t get in other mediums. I like the idea of listening to different folks hash out ideas in audio cyberspace.
Having said that, there are some drawbacks. For one, you need to be organized to download your podcasts regularly and put them somewhere accessible. (ie. your ipod or preferred mp3 device.) This may be easy for you organized folks, but it’s not my strong point.
Also, they take a time commitment from the listener that can be challenging. I rather like the idea of being able to log on to a blog or rss feed, cruise through my choice of blog posts and then move on. I find it hard to devote an hour and twenty minutes to my favorite podcast regardless of how interesting it may be.
Perhaps this is my generation-X monkey mind at work.
But if you do have an hour and twenty minutes at your disposal, check out the latest episode of The EMS Garage, one of the very best shows in EMS podcasting. This episode is called “Spot The Crazy Guy” and if you just can’t wait to find out … it’s me.
This show was a bunch of fun and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed being a part. I think I may try to crash the show tonight as well. That is … if they let me back on.
