One of the problems with free voice mail lines is that if you don't use it at least once every 30 days, it goes away. So our (206) number has gone away.
The good news is that we're using Skype Voicemail for our new, more permanent podcast comment line. Please make a note of this number if you'd like to leave a podcast comment for us.

The programs are produced in partnership with Cherry Hill-based Professional Podcasts LLC, a subsidiary of Lubetkin Communications.
The newest NJBA podcast is available in two parts.

“Our podcasts average between 300 and 600 downloads, so it’s clear that our members want us to provide time-shifting technology like podcasting for their continuing education activities,” said Timothy E. Doherty, NJBankers vice president and director of communications. “Podcasting is a cost-effective and engaging way for our members to participate in these programs, even if they cannot attend in person.”
“NJBankers is taking a dramatic leap ahead of other financial trade associations in New Jersey by embracing podcasting technology to increase the reach of its excellent seminar programs,” said Steven L. Lubetkin, managing partner of Professional Podcasts. “Like NJBankers, other organizations should understand that podcasts can provide their clients, members, and other constituencies important information conveniently, without tying those audiences to less-flexible programming formats like conference calls or web streams, which force busy and time-constrained participants to gather at a common time. Podcast listeners get the information they need -- at a time when they want it.”
Podcasts are digital audio or video recordings distributed using Internet technology. Visitors to an organization’s website can download podcast programs for review on their desktop computers, or synchronize them with a portable digital media device. Software programs called “feed readers” or “podcatchers” allow users to “subscribe” to podcasts at no cost, and receive new programs in a podcast series automatically.
