Good Evening. I have been exploring the world of “PodCasting” this last two weeks and I think I will start with the article from “How Stuff Works” at www.computer.howstuffworks.com by Stephanie Watson. There is so much information on this website I spent an entire night surfing links. I am having a problem with information overload. There is so much information out there it is difficult to keep on track and only read ten articles about one subject. According to this article podcasting began last year and was developed by Adam Curry. I am amazed at how quickly the information about it spread from coast to coast and around the world. It really brought home to me the power of the press and how quickly is disseminates information.
I did not make the connection to Tivo until Stephanie Watson brought it to my attention. I have learned more about podcasting, blogging, and mp3 files than I will ever be able to use. I have step by step directions for how to record a podcast and how to listen to a podcast. You need a recorder to record your podcast and then you have to post it on a podcast site. To listen to a podcast you have to download free software. Some of the programs for this are "FeedForAll", "AudioBlogger", "ReplayRadio", and "Primetime Podcast Receiver."
Stephanie Watson tells us that so far podcasting if free from any regulations or fees and that means that anything goes on pod radio. (248)
