Senator John Edwards uses Gcast to interact with citizens

Most of us know Senator John Edwards as John Kerry's running mate in the 2004 Presidential elections. But besides being a political pioneer, Edwards has broken new ground on the digital frontier with his One America Committee, which uses the Web to promote greater interactivity between citizens and their political representatives.

Edwards has been podcasting since March of 2005, and he recently switched to Gcast as his podcasting platform, making the most of our phone-in feature to keep the public updated on his many political activities and encouraging the public to call in with questions and comments. His most recent message was phoned in while he was drumming up support for fellow Democrats in Ohio:

"I'm going to be calling into the audioblog frequently to update you on my travels, especially as I go around the country and focus on the things I care about," he said. "What we want to do is use this audioblog as a way to communicate with you. I want to be able to answer any concerns or questions that you have."
