Trying to get with the times. I've always hated technology but I now realize it's apart of the world in which we live and a something to embrace not revolt against. I want to help people one day and give people hope and comfort when they are feeling lonely. I thought that meant writing a book, but that seems so big so why not start with a blog? :)

Podcasting for Dummies
Tee Morris talks about "Podcasting on a budget" on the iTunes podcast series "Podcasting for Dummies". He recommends that people use Adudecity.sourceforge.net where you can download a program in order to allow you to creat a podcast using just your computer without having to buy anything fancy. Podcasting on a budget is simply recording your voice whether your using a microphone to connect to your computer or you can just use the built in microphone on your computer without having to own anything “high end” and expensive. He explained that you aren’t supposed to edit a podcast which I was really surprised by. The true meaning of a podcast really clicked for me when Morris explained that a podcast is meant to get across to the audience what you can't quite get across through text alone. This was the most important thing I learned and definitely the most helpful. I'm a writer, well at times I think I am, and the times I feel confident in my writing ability are the times when I know that I am clearly expressing emotions through the words I choose to use as if they are alive and jumping off the page. Podcasts seem really cool to me just simply because I think it would be awesome to be able to empathize certain words and really get a certain point across to the audience.

Hey Leah!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to listen to the podcast about podcasting on itunes so thanks so much for sharing that tip! It really kinda helps put things in perspective. My biggest hang up with this weeks project was figuring out what the hell a podcast is and why I should make one. Wish I had read your blog sooner! As far as equipment I just used my laptops built in mic and I think it came out fine :)

"Podcast is meant to get across to the audience what you can't quite get across through text alone." This means showing BIG personality! Like you said, clearly expressing emotions. I think I had a really hard time letting my personality/emotions show through my podcast this week, but mostly because I was "camera" shy. It took me hours recording different bits and I still was anxious about it. Hopefully if we have another podcast assignment I will feel a lil less scared.
