TxDOT launches weekly podcastsJanuary 21, 2008 Austin Business JournalThe Texas Department of Transportation is starting its own podcast program that will cover statewide transportation-related topics. The Texas Department of Transportation Podcast Program will offer weekly podcasts that can be downloaded from its Web site www.KeepTexasMoving.com. Each podcast runs about 10 minutes long and will feature interviews with experts from transportation-related fields. "There are a lot of ways to get information about TxDOT and transportation issues in Texas," says Larry Krantz, TxDOT's podcast host. "But our podcasts are a good way to get that information directly from us." TxDOT has five episodes available already. The most recent episode includes an interview with Texas Transportation Commissioner Ted Houghton on the upcoming "town hall meeting tour" that will take place statewide along the I-69/Trans Texas Corridor project study corridor. That tour will kick off next week in Texarkana. For Krantz started the first state-sponsored transportation podcast in TxDOT's Tyler District in June 2006. "My little Tyler district podcast got some 5,800 hits last month alone," Krantz says. "That's not bad for something that's never been advertised commercially. Hopefully the statewide podcast will be just as successful, but on a larger scale." |
