The Bag and Baggage Podcast #14
A new Bag and Baggage Podcast is up at Denise Howell's website. One of the main topics of the podcast was Denise's desire to put together a comprehensive directory of law-related weblogs similar to the podcast directory at ipodder.org.
Given the explosion new blawgs lately, it's a great idea. If you like it too, you can help Denise by volunteering to help organize parts of the directory.
As for me, I'd like to assist with keeping track of law-student weblogs. I'm e-mailing Denise right now!

Podcasting Lawyers, or the Lack Thereof
Some of the lawyers who greeted podcasting with an initial rush of enthusiasm aren't doing it regularly anymore. Craig Williams had server issues that caused him to stop podcasting every post. The last Rethink(ip) Podcast was April 11.
One lawyer who is still podcasting regularly is Evan Brown of InternetCases.com. Brown's podcasts are short and his production values are good. He usually talks about a single Internet-related case. I think it's a model for what other lawyers could do.
(Note: This post originally appeared on The Legal Underground, where I've been thinking about what to do with my podcast.)
UPDATE: According to a comment that Stephen Nipper left at The Legal Underground, there are two Rethink (ip) podcasts "in the can." So be looking for those--they're good too!

But Does It Please the Reviewers?
The May It Please the Court podcast (producer: J. Craig Williams) is reviewed at The New, New Podcast Review.
Bottom line: the reviewer would like more "short opinion[s] by a lawyer that could serve to clarify a complicated issue."
Meanwhile, Craig's podcast has been on hold since March 21 while he resolves a server issue. More about that here.

How the BBC Views Podcasting
Two recent articles from the BBC demonstrate the growing interest in podcasting:
US politicans embrace podcasts--The Republican Party, which has a well-oiled communications machine, has recently started several podcasts including interviews with party figures such as party chair Ken Mehlman and former White House Secretary Ari Fleischer.'Podcasters' look to net money--
It is a fledgling movement, but it is gaining momentum now that people have started thinking about how to make a business from it.Ian Fogg, Jupiter Research analyst, thinks there could be potential for business, but it could take an interesting turn if big companies, like Apple and Microsoft, get involved.
"It is a nascent area but quite exciting. It is yet another area that demonstrates the move to a digital lifestyle and digital home is not over," he says.
There's no mention in the articles of the word "blawgcast," but I'm sure use of the word by the big-time media is just around the corner.
