People will listen when they're ready to listen and not before. Probably, once upon a time, you weren't ready to listen to an idea than now seems to you obvious, even urgent. Let people come to it in their own time. Nagging or bullying will only alienate them. Don't preach. Don't waste time with people who want to argue. They'll keep you immobilized forever. Look for people who are already open to something new.

Slate Magazine has a new idea - Textcasting. They have a podcast called the "Slate Explainer" podcast, where they answer questions that are on everyone's minds, from government to technology. Well, they've been attaching the full text script of the podcasts to the mp3s themselves to be read on the Ipod while you're listening to it. Andy Bowers has the story.
If you'd like to try reading text on an iPod, go to our podcast page and subscribe to the iTunes feed of the "Explainer" podcast. Once you've downloaded the files, you'll need to push the iPod's center button a few times to get to the text, and then use the scroll wheel to move down.

We plan to keep putting text in the audio podcasts, and we may even try a text-only podcast in the near future (since June and I can only read so many features a day). Keep an eye on this space.
