How about this? Capital Press is podcasting. You know what I think? That’s COOL!
Traditional and New Media in Indiana
I’m not back to regular office hours yet. Give me another day or so. But I do have internet access so you do get a ZimmCast this week.
In this week’s program you’ll hear from Gary Truitt, Hoosier Ag Today. Gary just got started with his new venture recently and he’s got a website, radio network and has started podcasting.
I interviewed Gary at his office in Indianapolis on a recent trip and learned more about what he’s doing and what he thinks the future holds.
First Radio, Now Video
When is an ag radio network more than an ag radio network? When they start doing lots of video. I know you’re familiar with Andy Vance, the Buckeye Ag Radio Network new media monster.
Get Your PDR, PDQ
It’s not often that a caricature improves the looks of the subject but in this case . . .
Colonel Jon Phillips and Emery Kleven have teamed up to start the Price Discovery Report. It’s a new farm broadcast network in “Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Minnesota.”
Hoosier Ag Man
Here’s Gary Truitt in his new studio environment in Indianapolis. I stopped by Hoosier Ag Today to learn what Gary’s up to. He just kicked off a new “media” venture and is starting to use new media (farm podcasting).
Buckeye Agriblogging Farm Podcaster
The Buckeye Ag Radio Network (The BARN) is about to turn 1 year old so I interviewed one of the “Hired Hands,” Andy Vance to find out how it’s going. He and his wife and partner, Lindsay, have created a very nice farm media company that blends the old with the new. In other words, he’s a farm broadcaster who can still be heard on the air and online using new media tools like blogging and podcasting.
AgNewsWire.AgWired.com vs. NFBS?
I know the headline suggests competition although the reality is that these are two very different services. But I’m often asked what the difference is between our AgNewsWire.AgWired.com service and the NAFB member service called NFBS. Then today I received an email from a client of ours that contained a report from the NFBS showing which NAFB members (by name and company) downloaded their audio files. This client wondered if we could provide the same information. The short answer is “no.”
Who’s Yer HAT Daddy?
A couple years ago the idea of farm podcasting was just not “mainstream.” Now what’s happening? There’s a growing number of farm podcasters. Say it can’t be so Chuck. Sorry. It’s so.
