-Two-thirds of podcast listeners do it in their in their cars by connecting an iPod or other MP3 player to their car audio system
70 million Americans listen to podcasts and that number s growing rapidly.
-Podcast consumers index very highly for social networking behaviors. which means it will be shared more with friends
-The podcast audience has migrated from being predominantly “early adopters” to more closely resembling mainstream media consumers.
-This equates to approximately 70 million Americans listen to podcasts. 2010
6) (Keep Members/Attendees engaged slide) What would I podcast for my association or business? Get found!
People come to events & meetings for the experience–so keep the experience alive after and then leading up to your next event.
7) (GOOGLE SEARCH Slide) find you on the internet—–
Why not capture and distribute?
AANS -They have different feeds- all free to set up. (Really great- different subscribe feeds for different topics)

Monthly sit downs with leadership- answer questions from members. (wells fargo)
Make them in familiar radio formats such as news shows, plays, talk shows, reports from the field, journalistic investigations and so on they seem to work best. But down and dirty recordings/interviews are also great.
