Irish Election has just launched it’s first podcast, featuring an exclusive interview with Labour party leader Pat Rabbitte.
Congratulations to Cian and co. on an impressive inaugural podcast; hopefully we’ll see plenty more of the same over the coming weeks and months, all of this going towards making IrishElection.com a more and more important voice on the Irish political scene as the election draws close.
Podcasting in Ireland is really on the up as of late; for example Conn’s great news on BCI funding has been bolstered by the news that Raidio na Life will also be broadcasting his upcoming social media show “An Líonra Sóisialta”. Plenty of other worthwhile podcasts have been making their mark across the community too, it will never match blogging for its ease of use but there’s certainly a justification in it; IE.PODcast being just one example.
I’m hoping to add a ‘Podcast’ section on the right to represent this growth in quality podcasts from Ireland and eventually I’m hoping to get podcasting myself, although probably not until early 2007.
