'The Webcast Academy' is a hands on, collaborative training center for people interested in learning how to produce and host live, interactive webcasts. Starting January 14, a special session is being conducted as part of the Electronic Village Online - EVO2007, at http://evo07sessions.pbwiki.com/.

During the session, participants will learn how to set up, prepare for and moderate live interactive webcasts, and make 'podcast' recordings of them. We will also be looking at advice and tips on hosting your own show, choosing a format, and interviewing techniques. You can see a more detailed syllabus here: http://evo07sessions.pbwiki.com/webcast-academy
