Podcasting Assignment

http://slockie.podOmatic.com

This week I went to Kimberley's podcast and listened to it. It was very clear and concise, nice job. I wanted to create something similar so I also went to www.podcast.com, but my computer had a really hard time with the site. Every link I clicked on was a broken link. I believe it is not the website but more likely the computer itself. I have a new Dell minibook - which runs RED HOT. I was using it on a cradle and the machine got to the point where it may burn your hand when picking it up. Something is wrong with the situation.

Once I got around the issues, I listened to some podcasts on PodOmatic and they were great. I created an account and posted one myself from LAX. Please let me know if you hear background noise. I used "WavePad Sound Editor" software as the Audacity site wanted me to pay them for a subscription- maybe something new?. Wavepad is free.

I then went to CCmixter.org and downloaded some music from a reggae artist from Malawi, Africa. He is quite the guitarist. The nice thing about CCMixter.org is the have individual teracks from multitrack recordings (you can seperate out drums, guitar, voice etc- I'm a big fan of that as I love guitar and drums).

Once back on www.podOmatic.com the account has a lot of great info - how big your audience is, what bandwidth you've used, how many subscriptions etc. Best of all, you get a home page much like a blog page - complete with all your posts, calendar, profile pic etc.

I think I will tie into into training by having it a clip embedded on a webpage to give a quick description of what process is being shown. Could be great for remote site guys (that I work with) where connectivity is an issue.

I also tried Gcast - hopefully it embeds here....very straight forward and easy to use!
