Hello from podme
Yakety, yak, yak!
So who is podme?
Podme, has been created as a free vehicle for anyone who wants a hobby with a difference and who's got what it takes to be a radio presenter or maybe even a radio star...
You don't need any experience in broadcasting to get involved but what you do need is time, drive, passion, enthusiasm and lots of commitment.
Why create podme? Well here's a question for you.
have you...
Ever been listening to the radio and thought 'This presenter is really, really bad, how the hell did they ever get this job, I could do so much better than that!'
Or ever been seriously under whelmed by the crap coming out of your radio!
Or ever just wished there was a radio show about things that really matter to you.
Or finally have you ever felt like life's passed you by - that you really could and should have been a contender...
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then may we extend a warm, warm welcome to podme.org because this is where your dreams can come true...
reality radio - share the air
As our tag line suggests, we believe that with the advent of podcasting, people of all ages, nationalities, colours and creeds have a unique opportunity to develop real community radio across a diverse, exciting and limitless spectrum of topics and subject matter...
No that doesn't mean we think everyone should start podcasting - we think that would (or rather will) be an audio nightmare!
HOWEVER
We do believe there are thousands and thousands of you who really have something to say that's worth hearing and that you would deliver it with dignity, humour, irreverence and possibly even style - you just need the know how, resources and opportunity.
We also understand that the concept of podcasting will be very new to some people and that it might take a bit of getting used to but hearing is believing so go and have a listen to our current podcasts and watch over the coming months as the podme.org family grows and grows...
Just remember we're only looking for people who are passionate and serious about the opportunity to podcast AND who are prepared to commit to the long term, because podcasting is about years not weeks or months...
Finally we want to make it clear, we're not radio or website professionals and we never will be (we're in corporate communications) but we do passionately believe in what we're doing.
We are all witness to an amazing development in broadcast technology and this - right here, right now - is the beginning of an incredibly exciting adventure and opportunity for us all...
so how does it work?
It's actually pretty simple, if you think you've got what it takes contact us using the podjock email link below. Just remember, anyone can be a podcaster or podjock but we're looking for the great ones...
We want to know who you are, where you live, what your show is about and why you think you would make a good podcaster (we get a lot of emails so please keep it short and sweet - 50 words or less for what and why sections). If you're successful, we'll be in touch to take you through the next part of the process.
Finally before sending us anything have a look at the podjock section - you'll get a good idea of what we expect from you as a member of podme and just as importantly what you can expect from us.
Alternatively if you don't think you've got what it takes to be in front of the microphone but would still love to be a part of Podme, check out the 'get involved' section as there is plenty of other stuff that needs doing...
If you have any questions about Podme, send us an email...
