racoma.com.phJ. Angelo Racoma on technology, economics, writing, problogging, and getting things done

The third of the three-part special of the Liberal Times Manila Podcast has just been published. And guess who’s on it!

In this episode (which I helped script, produce and cut, with the great people from FNF), I get to share some experiences in becoming (and being) a pro-blogger.

The final part in the three part series of special episodes focuses on professional blogging. The Liberal Times Manila podcast discusses how blogs have changed the media landscape. It features interviews with Mike Abundo on the social aspects of Philippine blogging and how to blog for the world community, and Abe Olandres on how to earn from your blog. It also includes a personal account from Angelo Racoma on how he moved from full-time employee to full-time blogger.

Parts 1 and 2 were released over the course of the past couple of weeks (PTB feature here)–these focused on blogs and the media and the politics of blogging, and podcasting, respectively.

Do check it out. Streaming versions are available, but you can also subscribe using iTunes or any other Podcast client via the RSS feed.

Podcasting isn’t always as easy as it seems. First you need interesting content. Then you need to have a well-modulated voice and good diction. And then there’s the need for adequate equipment. Most of all, you’d need passion for audio as a medium of communication.

Might not be able to blog as much over here at iBlog 2, since (1) I’ll be speaking this afternoon at the problogging track; and (2) I’m on the job assisting FNF with their podcast.
