It’s that simple.
How much does it cost?
$0.00 (And that is in Canadian dollars… the conversion to Euros is… 0.00)
In FACT they PAY you–$50 for the first 10 episodes, and pay per download after that. How cool is THAT?
NEXT RELEASE: Codename: “Tokyo” ETA 10 Sept 07
===================================
How cool is this? My son and I are thinking it might be a great way to make our football conversations a bit more interactive, and get more people involved. Really helps us connect with the audience. That CAN’T be a bad thing!
How can I use this in education? Imagine a “virtual study group” hosted through podcast–where students can call in and ask questions, and the professor can answer.
How about a call in show to leaders in Supply Chain? Wouldn’t you love a chance to pick the brains of the movers in logistics and supply chain?
Again, how cool…
