FWP in 2009 - Video, iTunes and ???

Posted by Jeff Pruitt - 12/16/08 @ 2:45 pm - Filed Under Uncategorized

So with the new year coming we have been looking at changes we’d like to make here at FWP and one of things we will definitely get back to doing is more video. Technical difficulties have slowed that effort but I would expect us to be back on track in early January.

Another item we’ve decided to explore is podcasting. The conventional wisdom here in the local blogosphere is that people just won’t listen to audio over the internet. That may or may not be true but we’re going to test that hypothesis. So we will be conducting regular short interviews (~10 min or less) on a variety of local news and political topics and podcasting them.

What this means is that you will be able to listen to the interviews from the main FWP page or you will be able to subscribe to the feed using iTunes. This will allow you to download new content to your iPod whenever it becomes available by simply subscribing to the free FWP feed in the iTunes store. We’ll have more on this later when the feed becomes available.

We’re kicking around some other ideas as well but feedback from the readers is always welcome. If you have suggestions/complaints/ideas regarding what we could be doing then leave them in the comments or shoot me an e-mail…
