PalMD taught this workshop Friday, January 15. These are my quick notes.
- use an external mic â doesnât have to be that expensive, if you have multiple people in the room, you might want a 2 channel mic
- use audacity and plan to do a lot of editing
- find a place to host these things, he found that even with 30-40 downloads of a 30 minute podcast, his bandwidth charges would be really high, so he is hosting his on ScienceBlogs.com (I wonder if OurMedia.org is an option?)
- Need to save and then export to MP3
- create an RSS file so people can find new entries â he manually edits one each time and then pings the server
- enclosure url (your url for your podcast) length in bytes (open file in explorer to see its size)
- whether you like it or not, you have to register your podcast on iTunes if you want it found.
- nb: iTunes has extra tags
- (from me: please, please, please use ID tags for your podcasts! as well as whatever itunes or xml metadata)
- from another participant - maybe try podomatic.com â from someone remote via Henry â podbean.com
- general discussion about headers and long intros and intro music. (for music you might want to try searching for podsafe music)
- are there topics that work better for podcasting or do you do the same things â there are some things that work better as audio
- recording skype â sol uses Pamela â says it works well (costs ~$25 maybe)
- from the audience â how about when you interview, does the interviewee sign a release? get to listen to it first.

A couple new features for this week's podcast. First, a new mic, which I think has a richer sound, but also probably needs a screen to filter out the harsh ps and ts. I'll work on getting one in time for next week's edition. As requested, we're offering the podcast in both AAC and MP3 format.…

I have been a participant in a number of podcasts now, although I am not the one editing and posting them. We do ours by conference call. The key seems to be using a real landline for the interview; cell phones are awful, and a cordless phone is almost as bad.
I don't get the podcast thing, but I know I'm a visual person. I do like the idea that I can reach another audience through a different media like this... and world domination is what I am really all about.
I need to figure out if there's any way to get podcasts into iTunes® without actually having an account (with no Windows or Mac boxes, running iTunes® is a bit difficult, and to be honest I really don't have an interest in setting up an account if it can be avoided).
I started a little podcast project about scientific papers that's currently in low gear while I try to figure out how to get some listeners and feedback (so I can tell whether the idea interests anyone besides myself).
