[] … Farewell to summer: A special podcast from Baguio City

PCIJ Podcasts HIS past summer, many Filipinos flocked to Baguio City in the north to escape the sweltering heat of the lowlands. Although summer is gone, they remember Baguio with fondness.

ABS-CBNNews.com has wealth of pod-able stuff on its website and as well on ABS-CBN Now its downloadble pod-able virtaul download areana which is a paid service.

Myself am still working my podcasts. I put up a podblog area for now- while work on my techie skills- but since my best medium has always been the visual. I really plan to have a video podcast soon… hopefully it will work to be a something that will free me from the world of news blues the industry I'm in is in.

Overseas in Hong Kong for example - a recent podcast I heard was on maids plights on the site of the Suoth China Morning post.

But there is little yet in the way of freelance pod networks for freelance podders - most content is porduced in house. SO podding for pera- is still far off- not only here but abroad as well.

One way to raise hits on podcasts though is to link up your pod with broadcasters. www.mabuhayradio.net is home to Dean Bernardo and my little dabble in news and info overseas.

	MON - Mabuhay Music Hour
