Now this is a clever idea. BlogTalkRadio lets you turn your podcast into a talk radio show. Register as a host, pick a time, and start podcasting using either a headset or a regular phone. Your callers can call in and talk to you, and participate in the podcast using either a telephone or a headset. BlogTalkRadio takes care of the originations, terminations, scheduling and making a copy of the podcast available afterward.
Cool!
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

Very very cool. This could be a great tool to run a "webinar type event" or even an enterprise communications strategy in support of a roundtable event at a conference!
It would be great to see BlogTalkRadio offer “closed room” events where attendees had to either pre-register or be invited to attend events. Such a feature would extend the products reach to corporate / business users wanting to offer webinar type events.
Philip we do offer a service for private rooms. It is in beta. If you are interested sign up as a host and then send an email to feedback@BlogTalkRadio.com requesting to become private. As a private host your show will not display in the guide and you would invite your listener.
