Orchestral podcast September 12th, 2006 by Steven Lewis

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra claims to have become the first major ensemble in the world to launch a regular podcast. Classical music podcasts from the UK have proved popular in the past. The BBC's Beethoven Experience attracted over a million downloads of Beethoven symphonies during the month-long experiment in 2005. The podcast is to be hosted by Tommy Pearson, formerly a presenter on BBC Radio 3 -- the network's classical music station -- and will feature a number of segments in monthly magazine format. The CBSO venture is further evidence of podcasting's appeal beyond the demographics stereotypically associated with headphones and portable music players.
