White water rafting in Colorado, experiencing the pristine architecture of the old city centre in Sienna, fishermen on the beaches of Kovalam, and the St. Peter’s square with the church bells ringing in the background. Tim Richards is busy bui
lding an Internet audio podcast portal for travellers and holiday goers to sample before packing their bags for adventure.
www.heartbeatguides.com is all about the new age Internet. “Feel the pulse and hear the people,” says Tim, a freelance presenter with BBC Wales, whose rich MP3 audio guides to cities, restaurants, beaches, mountains, cruising, culture and cuisine are selling like hot cakesin cyberspace. Started in 2006, Yahoo nominated heartbeatguides as one of the best search finds of 2006. Tim’s rich media files come at about £3.00 a piece payable through a paypal account.
Tim, who has done national level programmes like Goodmorning Wales and Wales Today, is now on a spree of international tours, tobuild and update his audio library. Besides Kerala, he has been to other places in India like Jaipur, Delhi, Agra and Goa. Presently, he is making a 30-minute clip about Kerala featuring the backwaters of Allepey, Fort Cochin and the beaches in and around Kovalam.
