Following
an avalanche of almost 10,000 entries in less than one
month for “Your Very Own Ireland” podcast
contest – we selected three Americans to go to “work” as
podcasters for Tourism Ireland.
The result
were these very personal impressions from Nancy Daly,
Blair Ciecko and Bob Aldrich. As you will hear, each
is unique as the podcasters themselves.
Their
assignment was simple: each was to
invite a guest and spend a week roaming about Ireland. “Go
wherever your imagination tells you,” we said, “speak
with whomever you like and report on whatever is
of interest – all without any guidance, supervision
or direction from us.”
We
gave them a bit of help, of course:
we provided round-trip airfare on
Aer Lingus, a car rental and an
MP3 player, and made hotel reservations
for them along the way. We also
sent along a representative only
for “MP3 player” support
(always shadowing them at a discreet
distance, allowing each to wander,
meander, and get lost to their heart’s
content).
