Official city podcast
By adamg on Thu, 06/22/2006 - 5:42pm
The city of Boston now has its own podcast - Citycast.
The first show, hosted by an anonymous announcer (who sounds like he could be a broadcast-journalism major at a local college) focuses on the city's gun buyback program and includes not just the obligatory Menino soundclip but interviews with a police official, Boston residents voicing support for the program and two of the singers of that new hip-hop peace song.

No blog, no comments
The podcast would be enhanced by the addition of a blog and comments.
Citycast
Agreed, Steve. The Boston Globe story yesterday noted that the City of Boston is planning to launch a revamped website next month; hopefully, the podcast will have a blog site when that happens.
I have some other suggestions for Citycast in a post on my blog:
