Across the Sound Appearance

This weekend, Joseph Jaffe celebrated the 50th episode anniversary of his Across the Sound podcast. As a past guest host, I was excited for the invite to participate in a special anniversary podcast recorded live through a Skypecast. It was my first time being involved in a Skypecast, and although there were some technical glitches, I can see the possibilities.

Congrats to Joseph on the 50th episode of Across the Sound. You can listen to the anniversary episode here, or better yet, subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.

HBO Free Online Television?

HBO has released one of its original documentary films, Too Hot Not to Handle, in its entirety as a podcast. While HBO has been podcasting for a while, this is a new move for them, and reflects a larger shift in the television industry towards offering viewing of complete content online. This also may be a first step for HBO to test the waters. I sure would like to see them follow the footsteps of ABC's recent success.

I guess it only makes sense for Vloggercon to put up videos from their conference sessions. View them all here. It looks like there are some interesting topics.

First Video Podcast for Preschoolers

Nick Jr. has launched The Wubbcast, a weekly video podcast for preschoolers.

The podcast was created to promote a new show Nick is launching this fall called "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!" But surprisingly, only some of the weekly podcast episodes are promoting the show. In fact, a good deal of the content will be other cartoon material for kids, submitted from their creators. This means it has longevity well beyond the launch of the show, and it's not just one giant advertisement.

The user submitted content model might sound familar, as it's the same one used by Channel Frederator, who are really the brains behind this podcast. Nick started out advertising on Frederator, and I guess they've seen value in the format. How long before Nick starts airing this podcast content on TV? How long until they start creating online-only channels?
