Well I have to say that with the struggles with Itunes and downloads to try to get what I need to create a podcast, my initial thoughts were that this was no fun. But putting all of that aside, I do like the general idea of podcasts. I think that once I get my new ipod charged and running, I will find some podcasts to subscribe to and load them on the ipod. It'll be handy to listen to them doing....whatever I want!. It's great to be able to select just those items that you find interesting and listen when you are ready. Plus you don't have to deal with a radio station that won't come in well. However, I don't see myself becoming a podcast creator any time soon (except for this class!). There's just no time for it in my life right now. But who knows about the future? It's great to know that I will know how...that is, if I can figure it out over the week-end! And since I tend to be a person that says "ummm" a lot, it's nice to know there's a way to get rid of that part in a recording!
I found a how-to for podcasting that helped make the process clearer for me. Its called How to Podcast, and I found it easy to understand. Check it out: How to Podcast.
I can definitely understand not having anytime to create a podcast. It can be a very time consuming task, especially if you have to learn on the fly. Podcasts are great, though. You can get some really good content on itunes, and like you said, listen to it whenever.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new iPod! It's a great toy to have when you're out and about, and subscribing to podcasts allows them to be available to you whenever you have the time to listen. What can beat that?
ReplyDeleteGail,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way as you: "with the struggles with iTunes and downloads to try to get what I need to create a podcast, my initial thoughts were that this was no fun." I've learned that podcasts are really quite incredible, however, and it wasn't too hard to make one. I like how you found a site to help with this process! Thanks for sharing.
