Here's a tip: the answers to questions 2, 5, and 8 are....blue.

The radio stories, narratives, and interviews on shows like Morning Edition are the perfect size for including in podcasts. This is good news.

THIS is why I love public radio.

Instead of

A) Dismissing podcasting as amateur radio, or

B) Forcing their own brand of podcasting/broadcasting onto podcast listeners,

they are ASKING us what we want to receive, how we want to receive it and how often we want to receive it.

Long live public radio. May you all contribute during the next fund drive.

don't the local stations normally collect the donations? it will be interesting to see if it undercuts the local indie frequency generating broadcasters.

of course, I'll be subscribed the second they start offering podcast versions of shows. what a huge boost to the movement it would be.

Yea, when I filled out the survey I thought that it would be a great supplement to their subscription drive to include all podcasted content with subscriptions. Perhaps off a 'less than gold' package of podcasts for non subscribers....

It is part of the neo-con agenda to infiltrate a liberal medium. There are congressional investigations going on about recent republican apointees to the board of directs of the CPB and NPR.

There is more on this you just have to hit the blogosphere.

Dude, can't it be as simple as someone wanting their favorite NPR show on their MP3 player? Why does it have to be a political issue? Stir the pot man, stir the pot! :roll:

Well when your country is at war you get alot more things that are political. It is just a side affect. If you are interested in more on NPR and if it is even worth listening to check out this article today from the washington post.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/09/AR2005060902283.html

Seriously... before you go throwing stones at me in every post I make how about you read the daily newspaper and see why I posted what I did.

I am happy NPR is considering Radio Podcasting. After you read the post article you may find that they aren't going to have:

A: the funding to greatly affect podcasting
B: the objectivity we all 'used to love' about npr

As someone who has worked in public radio, I can tell you that the likelihood of neo-conservative leadership affecting the integrity of NPR broadcasting is laughable at best.

Public radio doesn't work like commercial radio does. These shows aren't all produced in some company-owned New York studio. It is a network of hundreds (if not thousands) of independent shows from across the nation that are picked for local distribution by local stations. Even if conservative leadership were to affect, say, Morning Edition, you have to understand that this but a small percentage of total programming.

Public broadcasting works much more like the Internet (or podcasting) in it's loose networked structure. There aren't fat cats in New York telling my local public radio station what to play. That's the beauty.

Ok, well, I've been to the war, I've seen the war, and I'm back from the war.

Since being back, I can tell you this. We only "get alot more things that are political" becuase people like you make it that way.

Not everyone has an agenda other than to please their audience.

I was proud to be the first public broadcaster on the West Coast to podcast, and I think public broadcasters need to get serious about this if they really care about serving the public interest.

Ultimately, I think podcasting is a great extension of the reach of public radio, and I hope it also opens up more broadcast radio for local programming, as well.
