Speaking of all that web 2.0 stuff, we've got a state Senator right here in New York who not only produces a podcast, he produces a really good one. State Senator Tom Duane has just released his third such podcast and it's one of the better I've ever heard. This is from the press release:
State Senator Tom Duane (D-WFP, Manhattan) today released his latest podcast, which features his first-person narration of a typically hectic Tuesday in the state capital, as well as his one-person-at-a-time introduction of podcasting to the denizens of Albany.
As he makes his way back and forth from his office in the Legislative Office Building to the Capitol, Senator Duane encounters lobbyists - amateur and professional, other legislators, government aides…and even Governor Eliot Spitzer.
Making his first appearance on Senator Duane's podcast, the Governor stops to say a few words for the Senator's loyal listeners.
State Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith (D-Queens) also addresses the podcast's audience before he and Senator Duane enter an in-depth policy briefing with the Senate Minority Conference.
Since Senator Duane found that many in our state capital are not yet familiar with podcasting, he spent much of the walk introducing those he met to the concept - thus the episode's title: "Albany, Meet Podcast."
Senator Duane's podcasts are listed on Apple iTunes and all other major podcast directories and are also posted on Senator Duane's website at http://www.tomduane....
Give it a listen.
