The digital airwaves

Something I keep hearing more and more about (quite literally as a matter of fact) is the internet radio show phenomenon quite simply known as podcasting.

Anybody with an iPod has a pretty good idea what a podcast is. Podcasts are pretty much radio shows that have been produced (professional and amateur alike) then posted on the net for any and all to download and listen to.

So I was surfing around earlier today, looking on some other aviation related blogs and I came across a couple of individuals who compliment their blogs with podcasts. Perhaps it would be better stated that they compliment their podcasts with blogs, but at any rate, it got me to thinking! Hotel Coffee, a blog done by a younger pilot flying for Horizon out of the North West in the States and also Fly with me which is done up by another pilot flying long haul flights, are a couple of the aviation related podcasts I've come across.

I've been told many times that I've had a voice for radio. Even when I was flying traffic reporters around downtown Vancouver, once people found out what I was doing for a living they immediately would say something like "Yah, you totally do have a radio voice!" Even though I wasn't actually the one talking on the radio ;)

So I'm considering taking this a little further. So I ask upon you, my faithful followers... What if I was to produce a podcast perhaps twice a month, something to be in addition to my normal blogging? It would likely be aimed more towards my flying and those experiences and less on my personal activities. So? What do you think? Some feedback? Ideas, topics of interest? Anything you'd like to hear about? Questions on the industry? What exactly is it that I do? It would show up in mp3 format, maybe a 10 min blurb per episode or something along those lines. Of course I'd make it entertaining, or at least reasonably so. We'll see... we'll see.
