What is podcasting?
Diocese of Raleigh – Department of Communications
Podcasting 101
Wikipedia: “A podcast is a form of digital media that consists of an
episodic series of audio, video, digital radio, PDF, or ePub files
subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed
online to a computer or mobile device.”
Merriam Webster defines "podcast" as: “a program (as of music or talk)
made available in digital format for automatic download over the
Internet.”
It’s not about the name
Diocese of Raleigh – Department of Communications

The “podcast” is just the method of delivery.

Where to buy from?
B&H Photo
www.bhphotovideo.com
Pro staff with great customer service
Amazon
www.amazon.com
Great prices and reviews
Box stores
Decent customer service, hands-on time with the equipment, and a physical place to
make returns. Rarely have knowledgeable staff—the person selling you camera
equipment usually has zero experience in the field.

Editor's Notes

  1. Eric Holder (the U.S. Attorney General) said on Tuesday that what Edward Snowden did was a “public service.” Where did he say that? On David Axelrod’s podcast!!!
  2. The primary device for listening to podcasts is the go-to for most Americans. PODCASTS ARE THE EASIEST MEDIA TO PRODUCE: easier than magazines, newspapers, videos, websites, etc.
  3. It’s always better to self-host if you have the tech support But don’t let it stop you from podcasting! Get started and switch hosts early, if you need.
  4. Facebook supposedly targeted conservative groups it’s a reminder that social media is run by companies with agendas and priorities…these are not “public spaces” They are private spaces run in a public way Email and websites are king. RSS feeds are queen. BEFORE WE MOVE ON: ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT TECH, PRICING, SPACE NEEDS, ETC?
  5. Didn’t have an answer, but was able to give new info (representation from each deanery, and the gap from construction completion to dedication)
  6. Have some shallow, some medium dept, and some long and deep Fill the holes in your content Don’t just speak to loyalists!
