Better Microphones for Podcasting

In my post on Pointers for Successful Webcasting, I mentioned buying a better microphone, and also going one step further and setting up a podcasting studio as ways to improve your podcast and webcast sound quality. This post goes into a little more detail on microphones.
To do a podcast, you need a way to record [...]

10 Reasons to Love Web 2.0 - from a Flickr Dude

These are notes I took while listening to a podcast of Cal Henderson from Flickr, titled “From Web Site to Web Application - Ten Reasons to Love Web 2.0.”, who spoke at “The Future of Web Apps” conference. You can find it (and a lot of others) on the Carson Workshops/Summit website.
 Cal’s definition of web 2.0: “Web [...]

Podcasting Advertisements

I’m going through junk mail right now. I get the BSW Professional Audio Gear catalog, probably because my library buys audio equipment from time to time. Anyway, check this link out on their website (also in the printed catalog). It’s a little section on podcasting, complete with a little article on podcasting and three “Podcasting [...]

Audio Content at Thomas Ford Memorial Library

Update from comments: someone asked what a p-slip was. Here’s a definition (from http://www.library.cornell.edu/tsmanual/jargon.html): “A plain piece of paper the size of a catalog card, sometimes with punched hole for use in a catalog drawer.” It’s the little piece of paper by the library computer that you can write a call number on… often, it [...]

Duke University and Podcasting

One more on Podcasting

Greg pointed out (thanks, Greg! I’m still learning…) that I didn’t quite create a podcast - there’s one more step involved. Apparently, with Blogger (my blog is hosted on Blogger), the RSS file Blogger spews forth is missing the essential ingredient that makes true podcasting work… and that’s an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosure tags [...]

What the… David’s Done a Podcast!

Welcome to the one and [probably] only podcast on Dave’s Blog. I was fiddling around with my Blogger profile, and noticed something about Audio Clips - there’s a text box named “Audio Clip URL,” and some accompanying text - “Find out how to get free Audio Clips.”
So I clicked it, and found a nifty free [...]

A Podcasting Librarian!

Greg at open stacks just made a podcast! How cool is that? He even succinctly explains what a podcast is:
“Don’t be afraid of the word podcast; it’s just an mp3 file, as normal as can
be. However, if you’re an iPod user or have an aggregator that downloads
enclosures automatically, you might want to grab my podcast [...]
