Buck City Podcast write-up in Bakersfield College Newspaper - By N.L. Belardes
There was a flattering write-up on Bakersfield’s own Buck City Podcast a few weeks ago in Bakersfield College’s award-winning newspaper, The Renegade Rip. Journalist Daniel McCraw wrote a tech-oriented piece that discusses technology and freedom in using podcasting as a form of unregulated media...
Daniel writes:
Nick Belardes, novelist, photographer and grassroots media workhorse, is now bringing Bakersfield another cultural step forward, with the first podcasting out of Bakersfield, "The Buck City Podcast."
When, late last year, his mentor and publishing world contact suddenly died as he was completing his novel, he didn't "get depressed, lethargic or blame God."
Instead, within a few weeks, his website -www.nlbelardes.com - was up and running. Now, seven months later, the site is a local hub of activity and information regarding the local arts, music and theater scene. At the same time, his photography and insights bring a humanizing dimension to what otherwise might seem remote and ethereal of the under-the-radar Bakersfield arts scene.
Within the last couple months, he has incorporated onto his site the current cutting edge of digital media, podcasting. Utilizing technology freely available or easily obtained on the internet, his show, "The Buck City Podcast" became the first podcast program originating from Bakersfield, and covering a range of interests.

"Podcasting is a tool of information untapped and capable of transforming Bakersfield," he said.
