[Air-l] Location specific blogs

[Daniel Sutko]

Some University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) students are working  
on a location-based podcast directory called "GoCast." Google Maps is  
the interface, with podcast links as location flags, and each podcast  
reflective of that particular location. The project started as a way  
for musicians or audio artists to link music to a specific location,  
but I believe the vision has grown to include walking tours of the  
city, as well as individual blog-style podcasts based on a location.  
The site is not public yet, but you can view the main page here:  
http://gocast.org and you can contact aislinn at audiocartography.org  
for more details. Sorry, but I don't recall the name attached to that  
email. (Disclaimer: I am not involved with this project and only saw  
a brief presentation on it.)

cordially,

Dan
