Rochelle HartmanA grumpy writer for the Phoenix New Times has complained about video-blogging and podcasts from people without The Face or The Voice. Hey, that’s probably most of us–which is the whole point of the V&P scene: many to many.

But let’s see what Mr. New Times can write about Rochelle, aka the Raccoon of Tin + Raccoon fame, who promises me that her podcast will be on the way in the next three months.

She has both The Voice and The Prose for a do-it-yourself NPR essay act–and a video-ready face. Even before I made a not-so-suble suggestion about podcasting, Rochelle was conferring with a techie friend of hers. There! The promise is public. I’ll put this in my Remind program and check up her.

Vanity Department: Perhaps I’ve overlooked someone else’s article, but I apparently was the first to do an LISNews item suggesting podcasts for libraries. Tried several search strings. Did I overlook anyone else’s article? Meanwhile here’s a reminder that librarian Greg Schwartz is already experimenting with the technology. In fact, he was doing so before the TeleBlog first podded up.

(New Times piece found via Steve “Seinfield” Garfield. Yep. The New Times guy apparently likes his Carol and Steve routine and the rest. I do, too.)
