808Talk goes from Pod to Vod

HAP member Vernon Brown of the 808Talk podcast has crossed into the next dimension of video with 808TalkTV.

“Since I am approaching my one year anniversary of podcasting I decided to add an extra cut for my listeners and do a little video podcasting,” Vernon writes. “I’m no pro, but many of my listeners have been asking if I was going to morph to the video side so I guess the pressure got to me and I put together a little something to give a glimpse of what I want to do.”

He says 808TalkTV will “show my favorite places in and around Hawaii and take a visit with some great and wonderful people and the things I love.”

Podcasting in PBN

Hawaii is embracing a relatively new technology that is changing the way people get information. It’s called podcasting and it allows just about anyone to create his or her own Internet radio show… Unlike broadcasts, podcasts tend to have narrowly targeted audiences, which keeps listenership for each of them relatively low, says local Internet consultant Burt Lum. Podcasting’s advantage comes in numbers because anyone can create them.

UH-Manoa Offering ‘Podcast’ Class

Nowadays it is not unusual to take a class online, but imagine a “Podcast” class. It is only happening in a few places across the country with the University of Hawaii at Manoa being one of them. David Nickles’ Computer Science 101 class is Podcast so instead of books, his students bought Ipods. “What we are trying to, is put the technology in their hands and empower them,” said Nickles.

And just like that, it’s October, and we’ve entered the last quarter of a year that seems to have just flown by.

V. Brown of 808Talk.com introduced us to DoctorTrey.com, a podcast by “Dr. Trey” and “Jroq” that’s dedicated to the Hawai’i music industry, it’s players and it’s fans. They feature new music, interviews, news and reviews.

Finally, Ryan of HawaiiUP has teamed up with his wife Jen to send out The Transmission, a spinoff podcast devoted entirely to ABC’s hit filmed-in-Hawaii television series, “Lost.”
