Put the radiostation in your pocket. Or at least the programme. Listen to the radioprogramme when you want. A radiostation for each of us. By anyone of us. There are noe ends to the smart ways to describe podcasting. But to make it simple – it is all about a new systematical and automated way of distributing an audiofile. Or blogging with audio instead of writing.
The term podcasting was as far as I know coined by Adam Curry, a former VJ at MTV. He started to record his ramblings and send them out as attachments to RSS2.0 feeds. His podcast is called Adam Currys Daily Cource Code, and at iPodder.org you will find a lot about the podcast "reader" he made. There you will find a good explanation of the history behind podcasting. You could also take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about it. The idea is that the software running on your computer will download the programme and you put it on your iPod or any other player that can play the file. Then you listen to it whenever you have time. Out jogging or on the train to work.
There are still not as many podcasts as there are blogs on the net. But the number is really growing. Just take a look at Podcast.net . And this is where I stumbled upon one of the new podcasts in my list. Avid Technology!
Avids podcast started in August and has so far produced 2 issues, but hopefully more will come. The podcast is hosted by J.C. Bouvier, Avid Marketing Programs Project Manager and contains interviews and news about different Avid products. No big surprises, but well worth to listen to

After living in Norway for over 40 years, I have moved to Brazil. I still sometimes travel to Norway to work, but aim at making those trips shorter and shorter.
My worklife has been spent in the professional broadcast area. I have been doing regular production, both recorded and live shows. And I have been working for one of the major suppliers of editing systems, Avid Technology.
The last few years I have done a lot of training and teaching. It is a very rewarding kind of work and no two days are the same.
I also spend some time hacking together websites and tell people about the benefits of having websites with content management systems - CMS and lately also about the advantages of Linux. My preferred flavour is called Kubuntu.
