Concerning this subject

Here at Liberty Science Center are already working on launching the
content that we supply guests on thie cell phones as a pod cast. That
being being due to the issues with Apple's monopoly on getting content
on an IPOD we are not concentrating  our efforts there.

That being said I think that we should not underestimate the value that
audiences may find in having content outside our insitution.  Making
podcasts less like a lecture an more like a science resource is a
possiblity. The power of the IPOD is not that it is at the science
center (certainly we should experiement with that use) but that it is
used outside the science center. In fact content can be shared.

I think that these devices allow us to possibly impact the largest group
of visitors we all have - nonvisitors. Looking at the news everyday we
really need to reach them.
