Radio Podcasting

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Radio podcasting involves creating a show, clip, anything that you want viewed over the internet. Podcasts are in great demand today. The site youtube.com is often overloaded because too many people are trying to view podcasts at the same time. Viewers can see the content and listen to the audio at the same time.

An advantage of podcasting is individuals can view it immediately after you have posted it. There is no waiting period. I know people who use it to work on school projects. For example, they have an idea to show but you can’t come by. They shoot a podcast, visually showing you the idea and telling you about it! Very simple and very fast. (more…)

Creating a Podcast

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Most of us have heard all the craze about downloading podcasts to our home computer, laptop, or iPod. Many of us have spent hours watching such podcasts for entertainment, to collect information, and for work purposes. If you are interested in creating your own podcast, it is a fairly simple process.

First, the internet is a wonderful source for researching how to create a podcast. Many sites allow you to create one through their site for free, or for a minimal cost. If you want to do it completely on your own, make sure your system is set up for MP3 files. Creating a podcast is a great way to get you some exposure all over the internet. This makes it popular for musicians wanting to get their music out there, an author who entices readers to purchase the book after they hear an interesting segment of it, a pastor wanting to get his sermon heard by those who can’t attend the Church, or you just want to have a little fun.

Podcasting

Podcasting is audio content, such as a MP3 Player, that is sent over a RSS feed. It is a file that is downloadable for use over the internet. The name is misleading though, as it infers that you must have an iPod to use it. You only need a computer or laptop to access podcasts. This process is fairly new, becoming popular in 2000. Technology allowed it to be used by multiple components as early as 2001. However, it wasn’t until 2003 that podcasting became very popular on everyday websites.

The process of podcasting is very simple. Computer files in multimedia format are downloaded to a server. The customer can then download them in a matter of seconds from the server onto their own system. It allows the user to see the audio and have sound at the same time. Downloading can be frustrating for users who don’t have the proper bandwidth to view them. This can be easier fixed by downloading software online or having a computer installer do it for you at a reasonable cost. Basically, the faster your connection, the better you will be able to view podcasts. (more…)
