Well, podcasts are fun. They really are. They can be entertaining and informative ... and they're relatively easy to do. Are there a lot of crummy ones out there? You betcha! But there are a lot of great ones, too.
I've been at them for a few years now, and even had/have a running series called "4F" (short for "Free Format For Free") that has been available through a site called Podarama.com, as well as through iTunes, etc. since shortly before I began producing it. I also currently use that same title (and the same non-format!) for the radio shows that I do now and again with Winnie on WCWP-FM.
The legalities regarding the posting of copyrighted music on podcasts are ... to say the least ... HORRENDOUSLY MESSY!! But there are ways to do it, and as of last week (mid-July), things have changed dramatically for the better for amateur and semi-pro broadcasters. Remember, posting a monologue or conversation is fine, but once you add music, you need to read the rules and regulations of the site you plan to post to. The show I've posted the link to works for a number of very unusual reasons, which I could go into if inquiring minds want to know.
In the planning stages are: a restaurant review podcast and ... most directly related to this project ... a podcast touting some of the unique Media Department services offered here at the PWPL, as well as a few "How To" podcasts that may help folks to better understand what to do and NOT do with media items.
You can find two episodes of my show in streaming form or available for download on bomb-mp3.com: Episode 3 (Cartoon Rock) and Episode 5.
If you'd like to hear more of my shows, or want to check out some other fantastic podcasts, feel free to visit Podarama.com. Sign-up is free and easy, and there is MUCH fun stuff there to enjoy.
