I could not be more excited to meet you at Podcamp Boston (I will be there Sunday). I remember being a bit nervous about my first Podcamp, but it ended up being such a great experience, I have now helped organize over seven now! Hope it is everything for you it's been for me!

If you keep pressing ahead, trying things, experimenting, meeting people, and avoiding grandiose promises to your employer, I am sure you will stumble onto some shards of the future. Even one will do. The only keys to success for this sort of inside corporate change job are: 1) don't get fired. and 2) don't quit. I look forward to meeting you at Podcamp!

One item on my mind: how can public radio listeners who are so inclined participate in the process beyond posting comments to blogs? For example, is there a role for serious amateurs to help with the audio content creation process? I hope to meet you Ken, either tomorrow or Sunday.

I had heard of it, but my guess is since GBH was into "The Takeaway" that they could only make use of one "hip" NPR morning show. That said, as a young, web-savvy NPR listener, I don't particularly care for The Takeaway. I quite enjoy Morning Edition. My problem is (and I suspect a lot of other young people's problems) is that radio doesn't fit well in our lives. Unless you have a strategically timed car-based commute, or sedentary time in the morning, it's hard to listen to broadcast radio. Younger folk have iPhones and phones, and few radio tuners, so I'd think it'd be a great challenge for anyone to get that type of show going. That said, the thing I've always wanted was Morning Edition podcast, available when I leave the house. For example, as soon as the first half hour is done, it's published as it was recorded live. I sync my iPhone before I head out, and I would get to listen. As it is now, the audio online shows up near noon time (last I checked) and is too late for me to listen. It's commute or nothing, for me. Since I listen in the Boston market, I didn’t hear of BPP on air.
