As further evidence of the rise of podcasting, the University of Alberta just
announced that they will be launching a weekly podcast news service on upcoming events and top stories.
Stories in the inaugural newscast include a fascinating interview with forestry researcher Dr. Mel Tyree, complete with the sound of trees drinking; a Parkland Institute report calling for a five-year moratorium on new oilsands projects, a reading by former U of A writer-in-residence David Adams Richards, and more.
The coming weeks will see a greater expansion of the podcast, with the development of a web page dedicated to audio and video files.
This announcement comes quite timely considering our participation in
VenturePrize!
