I had a premature Grumpy Old Man moment on the subject of podcasting on the POOLS blog some time back: Podcast Shmodcast. Premature as, firstly, I’m (still) not that old, and secondly, here I am doing one myself now: Podcast: Gordon Wells – Scottish Island Voices for National University of Ireland, Galway, talking about Island Voices with a view to finding partners for expansion/development. The terminological debate interests me no more now than it did before, but it’s a matter of some speculation as to whether the piece itself will stimulate more or a different reaction than a written piece would have. A sign of the multimedia times, when the spoken word finds/reasserts its place alongside the written?
