Australia's National Broadcaster, the ABC - has lead the field in 20th century innovations: radio and TV. With the advent of wide internet use, the ABC is no slouch in transmitting content via the internet.

ABC Radio National is the "thinking person's radio" of Australia: with a wealth of indepth content. Radio National transmits 6 Terabytes of Podcasts to 300,000 listeners per week.

Revealing this statistic, and managing the gargantuan task of podcasting is Leslie Nassar: the Producer of Podcasts for Radio National (and you thought Professional Geek was a cool title). And apart from being a coding geek, Leslie is an expert on audio, mobile content and The Chaser.

In this episode of "The Geek Stories", Leslie and I have a chat about the podcasting workflow at the ABC; the future and how podcasting still has some challenges prior to total world audio domination.

TRIVIA: Leslie's Geek Story revolves around a game called Lumines. My fellow Nic at on10.net, Nic Fillingham, interviewed the designer Tetsuya in Perth a week or so ago!
