Podcasts

I’ve wondered about Podcasts for so long!

Obviously the quality varies. I tried one and got a giggler, even though it wasn’t here first. It also provided some tips (inadvertently) for podcasting-- get to the subject fast and stick to it (she was doing an interview, and kept giggling!). Scripting is a good idea. If you don’t script it, listen to it before you publish/upload; at the very least it may help you hear your idiosyncraices that detract from the message, such as “like.”. I tried another on the same topic—she was new at it. Then I tried a third—same topic—and it was almost certainly scripted, but well read/acted! The ‘caster’s way with words made it worth listening to; it was well-written and well read.

I had better luck searching and getting to hear podcasts from Podcastalley than from Yahoo.

Found a great podcast to link to the RSS feed, but don’t think I was successful with attaching to the blog—although I did get it on my RSS feeds with Google. I still haven't got it showing up as an RSS feed per se, but I was able to add it the the blog page-- all the way at the bottom (Purl Diving). Haven't figured out how to move it up the page, or get it into this post.
