Beercasting Mentioned In Newsday
Quick pointer to an article that was released today in Newsday, one of the NYC daily papers. It seems like a month has passed already since we did the interview (I distinctly remember being here in California when I did the interview).
In any event, it hits Podcasting from a number of angles - including the Beercasting one. Here’s a quick quote from from article:
Already some are trying to make podcasting less solitary. On a recent Tuesday evening, 17 people huddled over microphones in a candlelit corner of One and One Bar in Lower Manhattan. The bar's owner, Terry Dunne, was perplexed. "They started coming in on cold evenings this winter. They'd have a few drinks and then gather in the back there; I thought maybe they were plotting something," he says.In fact, the group was “beercasting,” one of podcasting’s latest incarnations. Groups get together over drinks and discuss everything from politics to sex, then broadcast their intimate confessions to the world. Founder Greg Narain, 26, of Rockland County, picks the discussion topics for this group and others he formed in cities across North America. Like a latter-day version of “Saturday Night Live’s” Linda Richman, Narain presides over such conversations as “High School: bullies and pimples, or football games and house parties? (Discuss.)”
