Podcast #6: Technology in Politics
August 21, 2006
I received an interesting email recently.
Dear Wade
I am emailing you from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia… I have stumbled across your website in some research I am doing about podcasts, blogs, vlogs and other interactive online communication tools. I am doing this research as a job for our local Council.
I LOVE what you’ve done on your website! You are the perfect example of what a progressive Council Member should be doing to keep their community engaged.
I would love to interview you about what you’re doing with your website and the feedback you’ve received from your community.
Would you be open to my calling you in the next week or so to conduct a telephone interview and ask you some questions about what you’ve done? I could certainly learn a lot and give our local council some insight into how to utilise this technology effectively!
I really look forward to hearing from you soon.
With kind regards
Cathryn Boyce
Senior Account Executive

As it turns out, Cathryn was conducing marketing research for the City Council in Brisbane, Australia, to determine how they could use new technology to communicate with their citizens.
We talked about my website, how it all got started, and the podcasts I have been doing. The interview was a lot of fun. Hopefully, this interview will encourage other public officials to use technology to connect with those whom they serve.
