Podcasting Goes Interactive
April 21st, 2006
Podcasting has no doubt, grown by leaps and bounds. Feedburner’s latest report details some amazing podcasting factoids. Among them, as Frank Gruber points out:
1. Feedburner now manages more podcasts than there are radio stations
2. Podcasting is outpacing the speed of adoption of the last “most successful consumer product launch in history” the DVD
As popular as podcasting has become, we thought – wouldn’t it be great if people who are typically listening to a podcast, could be a part of it? They could participate in it, both the day it is recorded and after.
Comments on podcasting is not new, but very smart. Neither is social podcasting which is brilliant. But interactive, we thought would be very, very cool. Everyone’s in “the room” and as time allows, gets a chance to have their voice heard.
Our first interactive podcast will feature Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, co-authors of the book Naked Conversations. The invitation is open to anyone who wants to be a part of this experience, have a chance to ask Robert or Shel (or both) a question, comment on something they learned in the book or have observed as a blogger. Hundreds globally will participate.
Cost: FREE! But you need to register. After the event, the conversation continues online at waxxi.us. More on that to come.

[...] Waxxi is a new idea for podcasting. A way of allowing listeners to literally call in and ask questions. Basically, it seems that podcasting is becoming more and more like radio. This question deal seems like it is alot like listener questions many stations have on air. I hope that Waxxi will put more control in the callers hands though, by basically getting rid of the host and making each caller a host. [...]
