Dave Kinser Fixes Aircraft and Does a Radio Show From Iraq. Kinser is serving in Iraq at Balad Air Base as an aircraft structural repairer in the U.S. Army.
He's also Podcasting radio shows worldwide using his computer. His Podcast, Watch It Burn is - as he puts it - “A weekly show by a soldier in Iraq”.
Dave has done half-a-dozen shows up to now. Every week the public back home is bombarded with faceless statistics about more U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, but Watch It Burn puts not only a real face but more importantly, a real voice on that news.
During show #6 Dave dedicated it to a lost comrade and then reflected on his life. There is a realness and human connection hearing it first hand which makes any other news account simply inferior and two-dimensional.
We don’t know how many other service people are creating Podcasts at the moment but one must respect the technology which affords anyone the ability to do this kind of new Radio. Dave is using his laptap computer and podOmatic create his.
podOmatic allows Dave to easily create his own Podcast for free. The service provides audio and video support, storage space, the ability for listeners to call in recorded comments, podcast templates, and other tools.
