Radio Beat: Local stations are tuning into podcasting
Bill Virgin, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Thursday, March 24, 2005:
Much of the ink on podcasting has been devoted to the technology as a challenge to traditional radio, as independent programmers put together their own shows that anyone can download. But traditional broadcasters are also seizing on podcasts as one more way to reach audiences, including those not currently tuned in.
A most thoughtful and educational discussion has been unfolding on our mailing list concerning the possibilities and practicalities of including music from Hawaiian artists in podcasts. Drawing in part from that coversation, and drawing in large part from his deep, inside familiarity and understanding of both technology and the local music scene, Keola Donaghy has drafted a “things to think about” paper, “Podcasting and Hawaiian Music.”
The article includes points that both podcasters and musicians should consider, as well as open questions that have yet to be answered in this new area. Required reading, even in its earliest form. Thanks, Keola!
Podcasting: Individual audio programming becomes the latest internet craze, putting broadcasting ability in the hands of the many
Jason Genegabus, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Monday, March 7, 2005:
TRADITIONAL radio stations aren’t in trouble just yet, but the advent of personal broadcasting via the Internet is changing the way we listen to content, just as TiVo changed the way we watch television. It’s called podcasting, a term coined by British journalist Ben Hammersley a little more than a year ago… Maui resident Sunny Hills is one of the few islanders to have already made the jump into podcasting. Other notable local podcasts include Geeknewscentral.com’s Todd Cochrane, Machelpmaui.com’s Scott Waters and the Kailua boyfriend/girlfriend duo of Roxanne Darling and Shane Robinson.
On Monday, March 28, Bare Feet Studios will be presenting “Podcasting: Applications for Business.” Partners and podcasters Roxanne Darling and Shane Robinson will explore how this technology can serve your organization.
This free, noon-time seminar will be hosted by the University of Hawaii’s Pacific New Media center at the UH Downtown Campus, located on the lower level of Pioneer Plaza at 900 Fort Street. Space is limited, so please RSVP to [email protected] or by calling (808) 262-9409.
Bare Feet Studios has been providing Internet services to small and medium-sized businesses since 1996. Based in Honolulu, with a regional sales territory in Santa Fe, New Mexico, we have customers throughout the United States. It provides long term customer service, from strategic online business planning, to site design and development, hosting, support and web site marketing.
The Hawaii Association of Podcasters is proud to announce that podcasting will be the topic of the day on Hawaii Public Radio’s weekly Town Square program on Thursday, March 24. Host Beth-Ann Kozlovich will talk with podcasters about the technology, and most importantly, the implications it has for the media landscape. The show will air live on KIPO 83.9FM (simulcast on Oceanic’s digital cable service) from 5 to 6 p.m., and will be posted online within a week (and thereafter added to Larry Geller’s Town Square fan-blog podcast feed).
Be sure to tune in, and don’t hesitate to call the studio line if you’ve got any comments or questions!
Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central has “let the cat out of the bag” on Podcast Connect, a network whose reach extends far beyond Hawaii shores. Its mission is to “create a number of Podcast Brands that will provide a umbrella of services for consumers, podcasters.”

Now that things are rolling, we’ve stopped renting and finally bought: the Hawaii Association of Podcasters can now be found at hawaiipodcasting.com. Of course, the old address will redirect here for a little while. Be sure to update your bookmarks and links. (more…)
Watch this space for an exciting announcement from podcasters Shane Robinson and Roxanne Darling regarding a new website and an upcoming podcasting seminar. In the mean time, note that podcasting fan Bob Lew will be giving two presentations as part of the “Living Digital Brown-Bag Lunchtime Series” at UH Downtown:
The Hawaii Association of Podcasters site is up, with a few links and some basic information. Of course, we don’t know if we’re an association, a guild, a club, or what… or who “we” are, for that matter. But we’ve got to start somewhere.
For the record, the group was born following a Feb. 17 talkstory lunch with the Bytemarks group, which that day consisted of Bob Lew, Burt Lum, Larry Geller, and Ryan Ozawa. What happens next? Stay tuned and find out.
