This is it...the first podcast. It took me longer to get things going that I'd thought, but I'm on a roll now. This first one is lengthy (~35 min), so be patient as I explain what the show is about, who it's for, and get into a bit of why I'm doing it. We'll spend a little time on some news and resources, who I am, and wrap up with a little overview of podcasting along with a summary of podcasting history.
