Podcasts

I thought it was interesting to view the John Edwards vlogs and podcasts in class last night. I couldn't help but wonder if John Edwards will soon refer to himself as the inventor/father of podcasts much like Al Gore did with the Internet. That said, I did a bit of investigating regarding Republican and conservative efforts to use new media to spread the word. Thus far, I've discovered little (much to my dismay). There aren't any vlogs that I can tell dealing with Republican or conservative views. NOTE: A Schwarzenegger Republican's blog site was among those listed when I did a Google search on vlogs! Cool beans!

I did find some interesting podcast sites, most notably the Two Rights and the RNC. Admittedly, both need work and make John Edwards look like Steven Spielberg from a production value. At least we're among the living with this new medium.
