Podcasting review

Published by Mike Temple at 3:58 pm under Podcasting

Following the recent change to Edublogs, see Widgets, javascript, iframes and objects (and all that jazz) I have a couple of recommendations to make to those of you wanting to podcast with ease

1      GCast

The image “http://www.garagespin.com/archives/GarageBand-GCast-Podcast-Studio.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

2     TalkShoe

Both of these fulfil the criteria I set when starting my research into podcasting for educators

  • allows uploading of MP3 files
  • allows downloading of MP3 files
  • has unlimited free hosting
  • allows a streamed listening via widget player
  • this player can be embedded in an Edublogs sidebar (both of mine are there - take a listen)
  • on clicking the link within the player, a user can then subscribe to your podcast via iTunes
  • this type of recording can be imported to InnerTOOB to produce annotated podcasts

TalkShoe also has the facility for live broadcast

I hope this helps some of you who have found getting started in Podcasting a bit of a trial
