Sean Kershaw, podcaster?!?
So I'm going to try podcasting! I like to talk -- and it could be a great supplement to my Viewpoint and other communication opportunities. These audio formats help convey thoughts that don't always work in text formats and they are a great way to feature other interesting League and community members.
For example, this inaugural podcast is a conversation with Mike O'Connor, the entrepreneur behind Saint Paul's innovative "community preparedness" strategy for Y2K -- a strategy that has taken on new life in our post-9/11 and post-Katrina world. Mike and I talk about the motivations and plans that went into this emergency preparedness strategy, and even how podcasting might be useful in future emergency mitigation situations.
I welcome any thoughts on how this works. It's rough -- but was a lot of fun to work on.
(By the way, the music you hear at the beginning and end of the podcast is Bubble Man, by GST - featuring Citizens League staffer Bob DeBoer on the trumpet.)

Hey Sean, kudos!
My suggestion would be to make this into an actual podcast -- one that can be subscribed to via RSS -- since technicially, what you have here is an audioblog.
I used audioblog.com for my podcasts here in Northfield... very easy, and relatively cheap.
