BusinessWeek online examines the revenue-generating possibilities of podcasts, and finds independent podcasters aren’t exactly rolling in dough. I think there are a few limiting factors that contribute to this issue; Namely, there is no AdSense equivalent for podcasters.

Five tips for landing an internship
Published by January 2nd, 2007 in Education and Podcasting. 0 CommentsThe New Year usually signifies the start of the “second
semester” at most universities and with the new semester come thoughts of
planning for summer internships. I regret I only had one internship while I was
in college, although that single internship prepared me more for “real world”

Will Portable Video Make an Impact?
Published by October 13th, 2005 in Podcasting and Web/Internet. 0 CommentsI’ve got to admit, I’m fairly astounded by all of the media coverage of the new iPod and its video-playing capabilities. While I do think the new iPod is cool, it’s far from revolutionary- There have been hard-drive based portable video devices on the market for years.
