The internet is revolutionizing the way we communicate
     with a mass audience. Long gone are the days in which only
     the newspaper or the radio had the power to spread information.
     Today, we can do these things ourselves with technologies
     called blogging and podcasting.

     This program explains the basic concepts of podcasting and
     blogging, two new technologies that allow people to share
     their thoughts and ideas over the internet using text, audio,
     and video. The viewer will learn the basics of each technology
     in plain English, and with step-by-step instructions for creating
     his or her own podcast or blog. No previous knowledge is
     required, and technical jargon is avoided. Perfect for people
     of all ages who have ideas to share!

     Starring Alisha Seaton, Yoi Tanabe, and Heather Tocquigny.
