I was surprised and happy when I read this. It is great to see that Vanderbilt is following the trend with the new and changing media. Mike Schoenfeld, vice chancellor for public affairs says:

The emerging media forms, such as podcasts, RSS feeds and blogs, allow people to access the specific news they are interested in without sorting through all the other information that is generated every day. We want to be sure that anyone interested in news from Vanderbilt can access it in the way that?s most convenient for them, and podcasts are an innovative new tool they can use to do that.

One thing that I noticed though is that, the piece says that a special software ?must be installed? to listen to the podcasts. Although, special software makes it easy to receive podcasts it is not necessary.

According to the Vanderbilt News Podcasts page, the podcasts will actually be Vanderbilt?s radio show That?s Vanderbilt. It is also said that listeners will be able to listen to the speeches given at Vanderbilt as well as the Senior Day Commencement ceremonies.
