Video: Tomatomania 2011: Scenes and Interview
I produced this video for my “A Gardener’s Notebook” blog and podcast and thought I would share the results of this New Media project here, as well. – Douglas
Douglas E. Welch from A Gardener’s Notebook visits Tomatomania 2011 in Encino, California. He interviews Scott Daigre, organizer of Tomoatomania at a dozen locations across the country and chats with a few of the tomato buyers, many who come back year after year. Tomatomania hosts over 250 varieties for sale at each location from beefsteak, to plum, to cherry tomotoes and everything in-between.
Despite grey skies in usually sunny Encino, seedings were flying off the lot by the cartload. All ages were represented from long-time growers to kids eager to help Mom and Dad select just the right plants.
See http://Tomatomania. com for more information on future events in California and on the East Coast of America.

I see this as the beginnings of New Media finally challenging the mainstream media for viewers. I would like to see a lot more of it. That said, it is still catering to the “mega-hits” of the new media world and doesn’t do a lot to help the smaller, more niche productions. Does “a rising tide lift all boats?” Only tim will tell.

Promote your favorite podcasts and help other listen/watch
!
You may have noticed my recent posting series, “Recently Listened Podcasts“. Each week I collect the list of shows I have listened to (or watched, for video shows) and place that in my blog with links back to iTunes.
As someone interested in New Media, may I ask you to do the same on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc?
There is a lot of great content out there in the New Media world, but it can still be difficult for the average person to find and download shows that might be of interest to them. Help them out by highlighting your favorite shows and, when you can, help them subscribe and listen to podcasts. I often take a few minutes to introduce my computer consulting clients to podcasts whenever I am with them. This is especially true of clients who are purchasing their first iPod, iPhone of iPad. I try to recommend shows that already meet their interests and even give them a quick walk-through of how to find, subscribe, listen and watch to podcasts.
As podcasters and new media professionals, we can all do more to get the word out about great podcast content and help others find shows that can entertain, educate and enlighten.
