I agree with you that being in the Echo Chamber is an important issue and have found many times that podcasters seem to forget that podcasting is still a strange and unknown communication medium. In fact, I've discovered that nearly 95% of the business audience for my Webinar Wisdom podcast never heard of a podcast before they received an email from me inviting them to listen. To those that showed interest, I needed to explain what a podcast was and how to tune in. Terms like subscription, RSS, blog and even iTunes needed to be defined. Yes, the word iPod was recognized but only as a method of music download and certainly not as a device to gather business information and commentary. In some ways, it's great that we're explorers of a new frontier but we must not hesitate to evangelize our podcasting journey. There is still a huge potential audience to reach and I thank you for your efforts to help us focus on how to look beyond the Echo Chamber. cheers... dave Hi Bryan.. it was great to meet you at PAB and I’m now a NewCommRoad traveler.
