Episode 019 Discussion with Michael Harrison host of the "Up Close & Far Out" podcast

Podcasting has been around for about 10 years or so. But to hear him tell it, Michael Harrison says podcasting has actually been on his radar for about 18 years. As a veteran radio broadcaster, Michael has been a proponent of podcasting and has been encouraging people in the radio industry to embrace it.

Some have - many have not. Why not? That is one of the topics he discusses in this episode.

In addition to being a veteran radio broadcaster, Michael is also the publisher of Talkers magazine, the most influential publication aimed at the talk radio industry. And about a year ago, Michael started his own podcast called Up Close and Far Out.

In this edition of the podcast, I speak with Michael about a range of topics related to podcasting and digital media. Including:

• The opportunities and challenges podcasters face

• The important differences between the professional and hobbyists podcaster

• How podcasting differs from radio

• What it is like working with a podcast network (Podcast One)

• The growing culture of podcast listeners

• How podcasting will impact radio and other 20th century media
