Podcast group
December 16, 2007We created a few podcasts for our group project. I felt we all did a good job learning all aspects of making a podcast. I would be plenty comfortable making a publishing a podcast on my own if asked (and I am sure I will be asked in the near future).
Making a podcast is fairly simply.
2. Download the MP3 plug (this allows you to export files from Audacity to whatever medium you so desire).
3. Play with Audacity for awhile to learn all the cool effects and get comfortable with the software and the mic.
4. Decide what to record (this may be the most difficult part, Annie did an excellent job tracking down uses for libraries).
5. Record, preferably with two or more people.
6. Save, I saved to my desktop because I knew I would be storing the podcasts online.
7. Upload to Divshare or a another audio storage site (think of them as Flickr for podcasts).
8. Post to a blog/Myspace/Facebook/website
9. I used Feedburner to better be able to get statistics on how many people are subscribing to the podcast and also for lots of interesting goodies.
Podcasts should be used on library websites and should definitely not be feared (if anybody has questions just e-mail me).
