I'll be taking part in a PRSA teleseminar next week on podcasting for the travel and tourism industry. The event is on Wednesday, Sept 13th from 2:00 - 3:30 PM EST. My role is mostly to introduce the concept of social media to the audience and provide a frame of reference for how all these new tools integrate with traditional public relations and marketing. The other panelists represent destinations that are currently using podcasting in their marketing/pr mix:

Katie Kasben, video programming and production coordinator for the Biltmore Company, operator of one of North Carolina’s largest attractions, The Biltmore Estate, which features the “Biltmore Insider” podcast on its Web site.

Bob Schultz, director of communications and public relations for the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, one of the first CVBs in the country to incorporate podcasting with its “Doing Indy” podcast.
