Attention Political Podcasters: Wanna Contribute to NPR's Weekend Edition?
Yesterday, NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday put out a call for political podcasters - audio podcasters as well as vloggers - under the age of 30 to serve as contributors to the show. They're looking for young people from across the political spectrum to participate. Here's the announcement that went out on air, drafted by yours truly:
Are you a podcaster under 30 who's passionate about Election 2008? Weekend Edition Sunday wants to hear from you!We want a diverse group of podcasters to tell us how the election is playing out in their areas. Tell us why you'd be a good choice.
Send us an e-mail with details about yourself and your interest in the election. Please put "WESUN Podcaster" in the subject line. Be sure to include links to your previous podcast work.
Once we figure out which podcasters will be contributors to the show, our plan is to set up a blog that will serve as the home base for their stories through the rest of the election cycle. They'll also be airing some of the podcasts as on-air commentaries as well. So if you're a young podcaster with insights on Election 2008, please send us some samples of your work and audition for the project. -andy
