Introducing The Catholic New Media Roundup
By Sean | July 14, 2008
Welcome to Episode 1 of the Catholic New Media Roundup. For a while, I have been pondering and planning a podcast which would celebrate the best in Catholic New Media. Catholics all over the world are using computers and the new media tools to create amazing blogs, books, websites, videos, music and most of all community. It is my plan and hope to introduce bloggers, podcasters and others in Catholic new media and provide a place for promotion and celebration in this community.
The show begins with a social media introduction. I “met up” with of the Theotokos Podcast on Catholic social networking site 4marks.com. Within a few minutes we were talking on Skype and he was sitting in as Co-Host of the show.
My other podcasts: For the Sake of the Song: Conversations with Song , A Catholic Canadian My Catholic blog and the home of the Catholic New Media Roundup
Why do a Catholic New Media Roundup?
- To Celebrate the what’s going on in the world of Catholic Social Media.
- To Foster Community among creators of Catholic new Media. Blogs, Music, Video, Podcasts, web resources.
- The Bloggers are unaware of what the podcasters are doing, or the small publishers etc… ie) When I hosted the Catholic Blog Carnival I also podcasted it, and that was seen as novel.
- To celebrate significant events in the Catholic new media community (ie 100th show, 1000th blog post, bloggers recognized in traditional media, etc…)
- To showcase Catholic Resources on the web, the people who create it and how to find it.
- To encourage others to join in the new evangelization and produce their own new media.
- To grow in our own faith by exploring these new media resources ourselves and teaching the lovely Nancy how to use them.
- To provide a venue for promos and news from around the Catholic interwebs. I invite podcasters and bloggers to send us promos of their sites//ministries, musicians to let us know about their upcoming concerts, CD releases etc…leave feedback on the blog at cc.ductapeguy.net by email at catholicroundup (at) gmail (dot) com or by calling 206-337-0611.
