Not so with podcasting, though. Since day one there has been a seemingly disproportionate (sp?) amount of Aussies and Brits involved in the field and that remains true today.
Take Ireland Tourism, for example (yes, I know the Irish are neither Australian nor British, but you get my point). They've put together a contest with the winner receiving a one-week all expenses paid trip to Ireland to podcast about their experiences as a tourist for Discover Ireland.
Tell us why you would like to travel to Ireland and learn to be a good podcaster for Tourism Ireland’s “Your Very Own Ireland” contest and you could be one of three winners of a one-week tour to the Island of Ireland for two this fall – including round-trip airfare, accommodations, ground transportation, a sleek MP3 player and logistical support in Ireland to produce your own podcast.
Beauty!
