Evo Terra

Evo is the poster child for Type A personalities the world over. Washed-up musician, tree-hugging herbalist, heretical-but-ordained minister, talk-radio personality, advertising executive and technology innovator; all wrapped up in one single-serving package. In the podcasting world, Evo tends to infect others with the podcasting bug, from budding show hosts to the people behind the scenes finding new uses for podcast technologies.

His first podcast was available on October 14, 2004, though many listeners to his program had been downloading .mp3 files directly from his website since 2002. In November 2005, Podcasting for Dummies was released to the masses, penned by Evo and Tee Morris.

In early 2006, Evo and his partner Michael R. Mennenga formed FarPoint Media, an "incubator" of sorts to develop and distribute original media productions. FarPont media acts as the parent company to not only Evo's three podcasts (including the award-winning Slice of Scifi which is carried on XM Satellite Radio), but a variety of other podcats for which Evo serves as the executive producer.

Evo's latest and perhaps most ambitious project is Podiobooks.com, an online "library" of freely available books released in serialized podcast form. Podiobooks.com is a fresh look at the technolgy behind podcasting, showcasing how the underlying principles can be modified to meet specific needs of emerging marketplaces.
