Podcasting a Meeting About Podcasting
Last Friday was the February meeting of our Ocotillo Online Learning Group — the theme for this meeting (selected back in May 2005) was digital audio and podcasting. While the meeting notes are not yet updated, I’ve done a quick turn around on the audio recorded and posted them to the meeting notes page. Yes, […]

Listen/Speak Web
It’s podcast mania out there. I’m getting more requests for information, demos, etc internally.
