Teen's military history podcast heard around the world

Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
On George Hageman's iPod: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, the Foo Fighters, the Rolling Stones and a backup of all his schoolwork.



It's the typical playlist of a 15-year-old who gets good grades, strums bass guitar with a basement band, enjoys Xbox games and plays shortstop -- and sometimes third base -- on Lakeside School's JV baseball team.

On more than 2,000 other iPods: George's Military History Podcast. And those are just the subscribers through iTunes.

His Web site has recorded more than 15,000 downloads since he debuted his weekly show on Labor Day weekend: "Bringing you the strangest anecdotes, most innovative technology, and most significant events in Military History." He has fans in more than 40 countries.
The rise of technology.
