Understory: the Official Blog of RAN

On Panthers and Podcasts

Blogger, podcaster, and otherwise web-savvy worldchanger Britt Bravo dropped by the RAN office the other day. She’s been a friend to RAN in the past, interviewing one of our Freedom From Oil campaigners Jodie Van Horn, Global Finance Campaign Director Emeritus and MoveOn.org Campaign Director Ilyse Hogue, and most recently once-upon-a-time RAN Board of Directors member Van Jones. Their names, when mushed together in combination, become “Van Van Hogue”.

But, while she brought many a microphone, she didn’t stop by to interview us but to give us the basics on podcasting. What equipment we needed, how much it would cost, how often we should produce one, etc. She also suggested—a suggestion I’m taking right now—that we ask our supporters what they’d like to hear. We’ve come up with all kinds of ideas, from short and funny behind-the-scenes looks at the often chaotic office here at RAN to in-depth and lavishly told stories about people impacted by the issues we work on to everything in between.

What would you like? What issues should we cover? How long should it be? Do you even listen to podcasts? You all support us with your time and money, so we want it to be something valuable to you.
