This is the kick off this new podcast series where Larry, Alan, and Rachel talk about the plans for this podcast series, why we are doing it, and outlining some things to look forward to in the future.

Today's conversations included:

• What nmc conversations is — the format, guests, upcoming topics.
• Why we want to do this — some of the history of the NMC’s focus on podcasts — its appearance in the 2006 Horizon Report, the Spring 2006 Online Conference on Personal Broadcasting last April with keynotes by Phil Long and Laura Blankenship
• NMC Web 2.0 (Our new web site) and how this fits in with some exciting new things coming up
• A reflection on how rich media content is changing how we think about almost everything.
