Disappeared News

Yup, you no longer need ugly sponsors and millions of bucks for transmitters to reach the multitudes.

Pioneer podcaster Todd Cochran (Geek News Central) started his podcast at 6 am today and will continue on until 6 am Saturday. You can watch it and participate yourself. It's a videocast, it's a call-in program. It's also a benefit for One Laptop per Child.

It may not be the end of Fox News, but the possibility is there.

You can tune in several ways. Try the Ustream feed:
