Podcasting review
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
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
