Podcast Debut

Last week, I recorded my first Podcast, courtesy of John Furrier, Founder of Podtech.net.  You can go to John's site, www.podtech.net and listen to it.  You can also  download it (Download keith_podcast1.mp3).  Here's John's summary of the interview. 

"Topic:  What’s going on in Venture Capital and in the Internet? - Keith Benjamin is a seasoned and experienced research analyst, investment banker, and now a venture capitalist. Keith is a great guy and very outspoken and always has a variety of stats on venture business and entrepreneurs. Keith and I talk about venture capital, funding, the direction for Internet ventures, and much more. This interview won’t disappoint!"

John's site also has some interesting interviews with other VCs, including Heidi Roizen.  The medium is intriguing, given the rapid adoption of iPods and MP3 players for music playback.  Spoken interviews would seem to have a longer life through podcasts than radio.  Podcasts would seem to be a natural component of blogs, along with pictures and potentially video.  As with blogs, challenge is to turn this into an advertising and/or sponsorship supported business.  I expect as blog and podcast audiences grow, money will follow.
