WAXXI - interactive podcasts


Waxxi is a presenter and producer of live and archived interactive podcasts. Created out of a need in the read/write/web environment, in podcasts, which are linear in nature. Typically, there are one or a few people interviewing one or a few, and us listening. Why not invite people to participate in the podcast, to ask the questions and interact with the guests…and each other?


So was born Waxxi’s Interactive Podcasts. The invitation is open to anyone who wants to be a part of the experience, and have the chance to ask our guests a question, or comment on something relative to the topic.


On Thursday, April 5, 2007 Waxxi hosted a global conversation with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. People from the US, Europe and Canada joined in for a talk about Wikia, free and transparent search, Wikipedia, Google, and much more.Before and after the event, some of the participants blogged about it


How it worked: Waxxi's interactive 'casts allow you to be a part of the conversation and podcast experience as it happens, rather than just listen after the recording. That means you'll be able to talk to our guests, ask a question or comment on the conversation either by phone (toll free within the US, direct dial outside the US) or simultaneous chat/IM. Waxxi also offers live audio streaming, so you don't have to call in to participate.

However you choose, you are an important part of the experience: that's the whole idea. Enjoy!
