Making Podcasting Accessible for All
Hi everyone... I've just posted my first podcast. The topic of this five-minute audio is the growth of podcasting and the subsequent accessibility challenges faced by the hearing impaired. I'm hoping it's the first in a series of podcasts from me on a variety of issues related to the Internet, the media and the digital divide, among other topics. If you have a good Internet connection you can download the podcast; it's just over five megabytes in size. Otherwise, a transcript of the podcast can be found on my blog. For those of you who want to subscribe to my future podcasts using software like iPodderX, please use my blog's RSS feed.

So I propose aggregating all the civil society bloggers who will be participating in the process to help make up for the shameful lack of mainstream media coverage.
