The Hawaii Association of Podcasters welcomes Mitchell K. Dwyer to the island podcasting `ohana with The Literate Loser, a book-based show that features readings, recommendations, and the occasional personal update (”the loser portion,” as he explains in his debut podcast).
Mitchell is a teacher at ASSETS School, and a life-long lover of literature and language. He is a contributor to Hawaii Metroblogging and HawaiiThreads.com, and keeps a personal online journal at Chalkdust.
Tuesday, July 12 was a busy day for podcasting in the islands. Todd Cochrane of GeekNewsCentral.com got things off to an early start with an appearance on the KHON morning news. A few hours later, he was at the University of Phoenix downtown giving an hour-long lunchtime presentation on podcasting (based on his book, Podcasting: The Do It Yourself Guide). He’s likely going to post the audio of his talk on his website later this week.
Then, as night fell, Peter Kay of VoteHawaii.com and Your Computer Minute shared his take on the podcasting phenomenon, and the opportunities it presents, as part of the Cyberpizza series of talks. He’s already posted the audio from his presentation here.
The Hawaii Association of Podcasters welcomes the latest batch of islanders to add their voices to the mix.
Be sure to check out all the local podcasters. And if you’re podcasting from Hawaii, or would like to start, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Local podcasters and the podcasting phenomenon were featured on the KHON 2 News this evening. Several local podcasting sites were shown on screen as the piece explained what podcasting is, and who in Honolulu is creating them. Congratulations to Todd Cochrane, Roxanne Darling, and Shane Robinson, and thanks for making us all look (and sound) so good! And special thanks to the especially tech-savvy Kirk Fernandes for putting together such a great segment.

Part radio, part TiVo, literally bringing the voice of the everyman to the world, podcasting is an incredible phenomenon that’s sweeping the globe… and one self-described geek right here in Hawaii has written the first definitive guide. Honolulu resident and veteran podcaster Todd Cochrane was tapped by global publishing powerhouse John Wiley & Sons, Inc. to write “Podcasting: Do It Yourself Guide.”The 300+ page book covers every aspect of podcasts, from finding and listening to them, to creating, improving, and promoting your own audio show. Due out in June, the book will be on store shelves before the podcasting phenomenon itself is barely a year old. (more…)
Todd Cochrane (GeekNewsCentral.com) is poised to take centerstage on the global podcasting scene on Friday the 13th, with a big announcement — which has been promised for weeks — finally coming in his 64th show. Meanwhile, Peter Kay (VoteHawaii.com), a familiar voice who recently jumped into podcasting, has also been thinking big, looking to make waves out in the middle of the Pacific.
Both Todd and Peter will probably have a lot to say at an open, noontime HAP meetup, taking place at Kakaako Waterfront Park on Thursday, May 12. If you’re a local podcaster, wannabe-podcaster, podcast listener, or just curious about podcasting, be sure to pack a lunch (and some sunscreen) and join us.
Other events to put into your PDAs:
Local podcaster and obsessive online community builder Ryan Ozawa today launched Voxmedia.org, which aims to explore podcasting, blogging, and vlogging (or videoblogging) as powerful forms of individual expression and interaction. The three forms of “masses media” (in contrast to mass media) — text, audio, and video — are covered in three ways: a message board, a wiki (a collectively edited resource), and a news blog.
Podcasters and podcast enthusiasts are encouraged to start conversations in the podcasting forum, or to add their own brand of expertise to the podcasting wiki.

Clear Channel To Embrace Podcasting
Paul Heine, Billboard Radio Monitor, March 25, 2005:
Clear Channel plans to take first steps toward extending its radio brands through podcasting, as part of a new coherent Internet strategy set to unfold over the next several months at radio’s largest operator… Clear Channel plans to make five-minute, ad-supported segments available for download from station sites. Morning show vignettes, content from air talent and bits like top 40 WHTZ New York’s “Z100 Phonetap” are among the offerings the company plans to make available as downloads.
