podcasting
today i had my first real encounter with podcasting. after bbc's up all night sparked my interest, i decided to download a few podcasts to my mp3 player to listen to while doing sports. keeping my topic in mind, i googled "podcast election" and within a few clicks came across john & elizabeth edwards' podcast. john and his wife discuss quite a few interesting points regarding politics in general and also the effect of blogs and podcasts. i can understand why podcasts are gaining popularity. in a way, they can be likened to blogs: uncensored, unedited material brought to you in a simple fashion.
the interactions between blogs and podcasts are quite interesting - to such an extent that i think it would be good to include podcasting in my paper. at least by looking at it briefly as a new, powerful phenomenon. or maybe i will enlarge on them a bit more - i think i'll have to decide as i go along.

now that you raised the issue it seems so obvious that blogging (as a generalized concept) can, of course, utilize different communication channels. podcasting would provide a nice additional twist to the study, i suppose. incorporating it systematically, however, may trigger an avalanche of work: (blogs vs. print media) vs. (podcasting vs. audio media), lots of time-space developments and interactions to consider in the cells of your road-map... not a trivial decision to make, as you indicated already.

after giving it some more thought, i agree that a systematic incorporation would not be a good idea. so my plan is to just use podcasting to "spice things up" along the way.
