LOST audiocasts

I recorded weekly audiocasts for the final season of "Lost" with Entertainment Editor Mark Meszoros and Sports Editor Mark Podolski.

To get more audience feedback and start a conversation with our readers (and listeners), I created the Twitter account @NHLostFans (and encouraged use of the hashtag #nhlost), and I created the e-mail account nhlostfans@gmail.com. (I also created a Facebook fan page that accumulated a few fans, but I removed it a few months ago because the little activity on it had ceased shortly after the series finale.) I also created the graphic that appears on this page, which served as the avatar for our Twitter and Facebook pages.

Each week, I compiled the feedback from Twitter, Facebook, gmail and website comments, and I read several of the reader comments during the audiocast.

We recorded the audiocast every Monday. After recording, I would write up a description, select a photo from ABC's press website, and upload all of that on the News-Herald.com/Life. Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning have traditionally been times when no local content was added to that section of the website, and I improved that by posting the audiocasts every week.

The audiocasts:
  1. 02/02/2010: Lost and loving it (with audiocast) (column by Podolski that kicked off our series of weekly audiocasts)
  2. 02/08/2010: A tale of two timelines
  3. 02/15/2010: Kate, infections and a poison pill
  4. 02/22/2010: Trying to unLocke the mysteries
