#138 Drawing on the right side…

I'm using the last show as a starting point for this show, about an idea I want to put out there for helping students learn how to better produce content and how to produce better content. I believe school is the place where this learning can and should take place, but it's success depends on how well it's presented and maintained. You'll have to listen to learn more.

At the end I give a brief review of two books, Here Comes Everybody, by Clay Shirky and The Rise of the Creative Class, by Richard Florida. They're not light reading but I think each one has something important to say about how the internet is changing the way we produce media.

#123 What is New Media?

Hi there, Happy New Year.

I've been hunkering down in the editing bunker through the holidays and came up long enough to leave you this note and the latest show.

My film is done. It's called Handmade in America. I'll be posting it online later this month and when I do I'll let you know now you can watch it.

I was thinking about the nature of social media and spoke about that a little bit in the show. I also wanted to let you know about a website and a podcast you should check out if you're interested learning how to make money through online distribution of your media, specifically audio and video podcasts.

Here's the links for things I mentioned in the show.
