12:55 PM - A bit about Podcasting
I had begun to talk about Podcasting just before the old weblog here went kaboom, so I thought I should go over some of that again and add a bit for those who still find it all a bit fuzzy. I should note that I'm coming in pretty late to the game, but I'm doing my best to catch up. Let's start at the beginning - read the history of Podcasting here, and then check out the 100 latest podcasts here. If you want to get in on all the action and start subscribing to and listening to podcasts, you should get yourself iPodder(it's free) or a similar tool. You don't actually need an iPod (or any other mobile mp3 player), since really the whole concept boils down to just making an easy way to download audio files from websites that regularly post them, and it just happens that the use that makes the most sense is a sort of radio-esque format (you could just read about it here). So of course I couldn't help it, I had to try out my own podcast. It's very unprofessional, pretty silly, and possibly just plain bad, but that's for you to decide. In the future we'll actually plan out what we're doing for these things, I promise. By the way, I should mention that my new favorite podcast is The Sound of the Day (subscribe). Brilliant! I'm also listening to the $250 Million Radio Show (subscribe), which is pretty good so far... this guy really seems into the idea of giving unknown bands some exposure.
