EEK!
I just tested Google Talk audio for the first time with a 13 year old from the Bay Area called Robbie Trencheny. It was great! Turns out, Robbie is a member of "The Teen Podcast Network". They've got as many shows as we do! Man.... maybe we should join forces, then we could call ourselves TPNTPN ot TPN^2 or something.
I actually checked out his site and subscribed to his RSS feed last night. Found about him as he had contacted Michael Butler on his 100th show and he also prepared Michael's daughter website for her podcast also.
He seems like a pretty clued up kid. Pretty much like the matthew Bischoff charachter. Wish I was young again and growing up now instead of the 70-80's where we didn't have the technology we do now.

As a follow up I hit this site last nite and listened to a few of their shows and have to say I was impressed. Emailed one of the kids who was about 10 to tell him he did a great job and to tease him about the Ashes because he is a Pom. he emailed back and I was again impressed by the way he wrote his email and how he portrayed himself.
For those of you that have Foxtel or download Call for help off the net last week the very hot Amber did a web workshop on the Gen Y wesite and those kids are actually members of TPN 2.
If you want a good youth perspective of the world give them a listen as a lot of the shows are well done and these are the thoughts and ideas of the future.
Now where's my cheque :)
