We’re really on fire with the Gizbuzz podcast at the moment - we’re even managing regular episodes! This will, however, be the last one before Christmas.

This one breaks away from our trend of doing interviews with people behind web applications, although you can’t get much more Web 2.0 than what the folks at the Participatory Culture Foundation are doing with the Democracy Player, and associated services. Chris (editor of YouMakeMedia, another Oratos blog all about how to jump into the world of new media and do a good job) and I interviewed Nicholas Reville, executive director of the non-profit Participatory Culture Foundation.

Some of the things we discussed in the interview were:

• The goals of the Democracy Player project
• Whether new and old media can co-exist. What will old media’s role be in 10 years?
• The importance of the long tail
• Running an open source project
• New media’s place in encouraging engagement in politics, and the Participatory Politics Foundation.
