Podcasting Workshop

We talked about podcasting today.

I use Gcast.com because it allows us to upload digital recordings (like this one) from a computer but it ALSO allows us to grab the nearest telephone and record a voice-mail podcast on-the-fly, like we demonstrated in the workshop today.

It’s powerful when constituents can hear their elected official explain things in his or her own voice. Even more powerful when citizens can view the source material while listening to the explanation - which is what our senate budget chair did here. To me, it’s a colorful combination of innovation and tedium . . .

Maybe the real revolutions are exactly that.



Can anyone out there recommend other good podcasting programs?

I put at your disposal this software of podcasting http://www.jpodder.com
I don't have to test it yet, but it is classified with the signal of the remote loading.
