Here is Katie's excellent article on poetry podcasting, written with help from several members of the APP . In the spirit of full disclosure, I publish her questions to me and my answers here: Q: When did you start the APP and why? How many members does the APP have? A: It started out in August 2005 when I suggested to Will Brown that we might start a Poetry Podcasting banner exchange, to allow some cross-promotion between podcasting sites with an interest in poetry. This exchange quickly grew, and an organic community grew around it where we discussed poetry podcasting issues via email. In June 2006 it dawned on us that the Poetry Podcasting community needed to have a focal point for any parties interested in the subject, for instance, an authoritative voice to speak to journalists, a place for poetry podcasters (both established and new) to get together, and a place for listeners and poets to find relevant podcasts. We launched the APP on July 1st 2006, with 10 founding members.
