Indicast on NDTV
I received an email a couple of days back from a reporter at NDTV to ask if I would be interested in being interviewed about podcasting. After getting an overly excited positive response from me, the NDTV crew landed at my place. They spent 4 long hours shooting for the story.
Infact, I had expected it to get over within an hour with a few camera shots from here and there but the news business isn’t all that easy as it seems to be. Prasad - the reporter and Cameraman Sanjay informed that the 4 hours of shooting will be followed by almost 8 hours of editing for a 4 minute story.
I am not sure about what’s going to be snipped off during the editing process but we talked about how Indicast is different, how we podcast and then why do people listen to us. I have been on radio once while managing an event in College but being on TV is going to be fun and awesome. We had never expected that podcasting would put us on National Television.
Now, the “Miss India” part - Thanks to all the listeners who have been downloading our episodes and spending almost 20 minutes listening to each episode and two thumbs up to everyone who has commented or sent us feedback on our episodes.
This is when we are going to be on,
Channel : NDTV 24x7

Yours internetally,
Aditya

Lavanya : I hope enough internet junkies are watching the programme at that time and It will be really cool if the subscription goes up. I’ll post the stats.

dude… hardly expected a mention here… but somehow not surprised : ) … just wanted to drop a line to say I might have something that belongs to either of you … it’s like an attachement to the american 3pin plug? prolly from either of your laptops… it somehow got mixed up with our equipment… do let me know how to send back and of course and to whom…
caio bella..

Prasad : Abhishek was asking me about a 3pin plug but dont sweat about it.
As you see from the comments, many of our listeners would like to see the story so it will be really cool if you can send a copy of the story to me or I’ll come and pick it up. I can put it upon google videos or YouTube.
Also here is the episode that we were talking about : http://indicast.blogsome.com/2006/01/09/episode-12-is-out/
