Podcasting World Gets Blasted By 12-Year-Old Nicholas Montgo

As with everything in the world of technology and the Internet, there is likely a kid out there who can run circles around you; they learn fast, adapt quickly and act as though everything they do will change the world. Nicholas Montgomery is no exception.

Every Saturday night, 12-year-old Nicholas Montgomery sits down in front of his computer in his Toronto home to broadcast a live podcast on the Internet. He covers all the latest tech and Internet news, and fields questions and comments from live callers.

Nicholas might be young, but in between his live Internet radio shows each week, the podcaster maintains four websites (nichm.com, blastr.tv, Intrwb.com and Virb.com/nichm) and constantly crawls blogs and news sites looking for the latest buzz.

In this special Digital Journal TV presentation, we sit down the the wunderkind to talk about his show and what inspired him to become one of the youngest podcasters online. Nichm, as he goes by, also dishes up some advice for anyone who wants to start their own podcast and he talks about the money he is now making online.

I am going to admit I am twelve years old. I have raised my ranks through the internet to learn the ways of the trolls and the complete morons. I am an occasional Funnyjunker and have always refused to talk over a mic. I have also noticed that most 12 year olds who don't understand the internet do not have the best spelling, grammer, ect. I put extra time into school to make sure I knew almost everything before posting on the internet. Why did I do these thigns? It was for survival SURVIVAL!

Just noticed this video is four years old.

It would still be entertaining, none the less.

We should all phone in asking stuff like "Do you think AMD's new Bulldozer processors will be worth buying?" or "Do you think Linux 3.0 is going to effect end users as much as it sounds like it will?" and see how confused he gets.
