Podcasting

Podcasting, like Video is becoming more and more popular as the web matures and high speed broadband connections become the norm. Where we compare online Video with the Television, Podcasting can be thought of as Radio. Like online Video - most Podcasts are recorded so we can listen to them at our leisure (time-shifted - Tivo style). While online Video seems to get all the Press, Podcasting can be a great way to get your message across or delivered - and it is easier to do. All you really need to produce a Podcast is a copy of Audacity (audio editor recorder) and you ... Read Full Story

People subscribe to a podcast and every time a new file is produced it is automatically downloaded to a person’s computer and in ... Read Full Story

There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when preparing to record a podcast. You need to decide how long you want your ‘cast to be, if you want to involve anyone else and - most importantly - what you are going to talk about.
