Summary: With over 150 entries from countries all over the world, this year's KidCast awards were brought together some really impressive student and teacher achievements in podcasting. I'm very proud of the work that each entry brought to their shows. Not only do this years entries represent academic and technical excellence, but they also will serve as examples of for thousands of other students and teachers who are just beginning to explore podcasting. The judging for this year's contest was conducted by six judges who are educators and experienced podcasters. Listening critically to this many shows was a big big job and I'm very thankful to everyone who assisted. I also want to give a special thank you to Humble Daisy - maker of Profcast and Atomic Learning for their generous support of this year's contest.
