This special edition of the Trafcom News Podcast is based on a presentation to the Alliance of Independent Practitioners of the Toronto chapter of the IABC. On May 4, 2006, as part of a panel on "Harnessing new methods of online communication," I spoke about what independent communicators need to know about podcasting (following an excellent talk by Jay Goldman of Radiant Core on wikis, blogs and RSS). This entire podcast is 16 minutes, and the IABC presentation comprises about 10 minutes. Download the MP3 file of the podcast here. You can download my handout here.
