Make no mistake -- there is a difference between a good podcast and a not-so-good podcast. A high-caliber podcast is much more than just decent content. The sound quality, and the way a podcast is recorded, will impact the value of the podcast as well. Podcast structure and pre-planning are also important; do not skimp on the production, as it too can make or break a podcast. <br /> Podcast production takes effort, but anything worth doing is worth doing right. Use these tips to help produce a quality podcast that will be distinguished above other related podcasts... <br /> <br /> <b>1. Invest In A Good Microphone</b><br /> A gritty sounding podcast is tantamount to a radio station that can not be tuned in completely. Poor quality podcasts are not going to be tolerated, and listeners will simply unsubscribe rather than being subjected to a poor quality recording. There are a variety of microphones available, and different types are designed for different situations. Find a microphone that suits your recording environment. Sound quality really does matter. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.feedforall.com/top-podcasting-great-sound.htm" target="_blank" >10 Tips to a Great Sound</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1496 1496 Mon, 4 Jun 2012 09:00:00 -0400 Some companies compete by getting into the minds of their competitors. Competitive Intelligence is the process of collecting information about competitors in a competitive environment. These tips and tricks will help marketers better understand competitive intelligence, and how to effectively compete in their marketplace. <br /> <br /> Individuals and companies use a variety of methods to gain information about their competitors. Some methods are controversial, and may even be considered unethical, but it is important that you are aware of them. Even if you don't want to use the questionable tactics yourself, it is important that you and your staff understand them, so you can be prepared and protected if your competitors decide to use them to learn your company strategies or secrets. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.small-business-software.net/competitive-intelligence.htm" target="_blank" >Competitive Intelligence</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1495 1495 Wed, 30 May 2012 09:00:00 -0400 Podcasting Software that:<br /> <br /> - records audio files<br /> - edits audio files <br /> - overlay tracks to make a professional recording<br /> - add effects and music to audio recordings<br /> - save files as MP3, WAV, or WMA<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.recordforall.com/" target="_blank" >Podcasting Software Download</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1494 1494 Tue, 29 May 2012 09:00:00 -0400 Small businesses tend to be more agile than large corporations, but in order to take advantage of that strength, they must be willing to adapt with changing times in order to prosper and survive. This is especially true when faced with a difficult economic climate.<br /> <br /> Look at some of the corporate giants that have failed to adapt as the market needs changed. For example, Kodak failed to adapt to the digital media market quickly enough, and sadly they faced the consequences. Likewise, KAO Disc Duplication went by the wayside when the software industry moved from <i>floppy</i> discs to CDs, while KAO failed to make the move with the market. The list of business powerhouses that have failed, or found themselves struggling just to survive, is a long one.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.small-business-software.net/small-businesses-must-adapt-or-suffer.htm" target="_blank" >Adapt or Suffer</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1493 1493 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:00:00 -0400 Conducting a successful podcast interview can be a tricky proposition for a podcaster starting out.

For one, you should choose a guest that is popular or well known to your intended audience.

Is it a bunch of websites that allow people to connect? Is it a new wave or new media form that is sweeping the world? Is it just Facebook and Twitter?<br /> <br /> Let’s look at how Merriam-Webster defines social media - forms of electronic communication as Web sites for social networking and microblogging through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content as videos. The truth is social media can be defined a lot of different ways and in many different forms. So lets look at what social media is not: it is not news, it is not TV, it is not radio, it is not magazines, and its not even a generic website. Social media is not the sound, it is the instrument, or a better way to put it, it’s the 2-way channel or medium through which we communicate. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://socialmediatoday.com/daviddsimons/503839/do-you-consider-podcasting-part-social-media" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1486 1486 Wed, 16 May 2012 09:00:00 -0400 A first wave of thinking about radios transition to the web seemed to be simply how to make audio files that were produced for broadcast available online. Then there was podcasting, a unique digital distribution mechanism that opened up new audiences and forced a rethinking of format. Increasingly, reporters have been asked to produce text in tandem with their audio pieces, plus images or slideshows that illustrate the sound. The problem with all of these approaches is that they are looking to translate traditional audio practices for online instead of thinking about what unique characteristics drive the web and how audio can inform these.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2012/05/how-the-indie-audio-community-is-transforming-storytelling126.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1485 1485 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:00:00 -0400 The clarity of your voice is just as important as the quality of your microphone, and theres a surprising little trick on taking car of your fragile vocal cords: though it may sound strange, try sucking on salt one hour before broadcasting.

The problem I had was publishers would tell us that they loved the writing but did not know what shelf to put it on. They are like, <i>Is this horror, is this sci-fi, is this modern day thriller, suspense?</i> I podcasted knowing that if people liked the episodes they would then mail the link to their friends, they would post the link in forums, and they would instant message it back and forth, and that anybody they gave that link to could click on it and listen right away.

The most important thing to have, of course, is a pair of ears in good working condition.<br /> <br /> There's no escaping the need for a computer at the heart of most audio-recording set-ups these days. A wide range of PC and Mac software is available, from audio-recording, editing, and mixing programs to software designed to emulate the sound of almost any musical instrument. To record a person talking or singing, however, you still require a microphone of some description.<br /> <br /> PC headsets, integrated microphones on laptops and microphones that plug into the sound card of a desktop computer are generally designed for activities such as Skype calls and online gaming. If the application calls for a decent sound quality, such as recording a podcast or musical performance, you can expect much better results using a USB microphone.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/hometech/threeway-shooutout-computer-mics-20111207-1ohpc.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1435 1435 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:00:00 -0500 <a href="http://getfitpod.com/" target="_blank" >Get Fit Pod</a>, with over 200,000 iTunes downloads, will ring in the new year with the freshly designed Get Fit Pod website, motivating thousands all over the world to get and stay fit with fresh fitness, health and nutrition podcasts. http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1434 1434 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:00:00 -0500 One way to start a communications and news career is to upload your original news video podcasts on the Web at a relatively low cost.

The easiest choice is to go dark. Depending on your style of podcast, you can prep the audience on why you are going away, when you are back, and ask them not to be too disappointed.

While more members of contemporary churches are reading and studying Scripture on their smartphones and other devices, traditional houses of worship have been slow to accept the technological evolution.<br /> <br /> For the early adopters, the change is simple, convenient and happening organically. They already have a smartphone, which can access multiple translations of the Bible in real time -- so they do not see a need to tote around the good book.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.jconline.com/article/20110828/LIFE/108280331/Tech-savvy-faithful-get-wired-worship?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1396 1396 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:00:00 -0400 Several websites have popped up offering tools to generate apps with drag-and-drop simplicity. One is free, while others charge for their services. To create, all you need is content to fill them up. In this social-media era, that is surprisingly easy to get. If you've got videos posted on YouTube, you have got material for an app. You may not be able to get ultrafancy, such as adding geotagged location data. But you can add photos from your Flickr feed and text from blog posts and Twitter tweets for a nice, personal app.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2011-08-16-apps-how-to-make_n.htm" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1395 1395 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:00:00 -0400 The American Red Cross has released a new survey that claims Americans are increasingly relying on the Internet and social media for disaster information. According to the Red Cross, 18% of Americans regularly rely on Facebook to obtain disaster information. The survey also claims that the Internet is the third most used medium to find out information about disasters--radio and television are more frequently used.<br /> <br /> Facebook appears, by far, to be the most heavily used social media site for finding out disaster information. 91% of respondents polled over the phone and 78% of respondents online said they had used Facebook during natural disasters; another 25% of online respondents also used Twitter. Personal blogs, Flickr and tumblelogs such as Tumblr and Posterous lagged far behind.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1775828/why-text-messages-arent-enough-when-disaster-strikes?partner=gnews" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1394 1394 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 09:00:00 -0400 Over recent years, with <i>Podcast</i> technology allowing us to take a wide variety of audio content on the go, our overall listening horizons have been amazingly broadened. No longer are we subject to the lowest-common denominator programming whims of corporately-controlled broadcast radio.<br /> <br /> What with the storage capability of the ubiquitous MP3 player growing exponentially, the actual size of the compressed digital audio files is seldom an issue.

Combination of the words iPod and broadcasts, Podcasts were originally intended to revolutionize broadcast radio back in 2005. And indeed it has. The demand for timeslots on commercial radio stations have forced innovators to come up with creative ways to get their shows on the air, and with podcasts on the internet, they're able to reach people far beyond the regular broadcast range.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/James_Schramko/Freedom_Ocean/prweb8671735.htm" target="_blank" >Podcasting Popularity</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1386 1386 Tue, 2 Aug 2011 09:00:00 -0400 It used to be that the surest way for a comedian to surge to fame was to play clubs and and appear on TV.

So while you might be ahead of the competition, you should still be thinking about ways that you can make your podcast unique and stand out from similarly themed podcasts.<br /> <br /> <b>1. Plan Accordingly.</b><br /> When making the decision and commitment to podcast, it is important to think beyond the moment. Before starting, think about the time the podcast production will take. How will podcasting fit into a current schedule? How frequently will you podcast?<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.feedforall.com/podcasting-tips.htm" target="_blank" >Set Your Podcast Up for Success</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1380 1380 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 09:00:00 -0400 1. Makes your wisdom portable. Your customers/clients can listen to your podcast while they are driving, exercising, cooking, etc. If you’ve got good solid information to share, your window of opportunity to communicate grows exponentially when you podcast.

2. Allows you to multi-task while marketing. You can communicate convincingly via podcast anywhere, anytime: at midnight, in your pajamas, while folding laundry, recovering from the flu – you name it.

3. Barriers to entry are zilch. Podcasting requires very little equipment. If you’ve purchased your computer in the past three years, you’re equipped to record an audio file with a microphone and save the recording as an MP3 file, which you can post to your website or blog.

There is a lot of good reasons for this: podcasts are not as widely consumed as video, blog posts, photos or games; and, producing a podcast isn't as easy as many of the other content types.<br /> <br /> So why bother?<br /> <br /> Increasingly, podcasts are a popular way for people to get information, to learn or to be entertained. People who work out or who have long commutes each day use podcasts as a way to fill time productively without having to turn their eyes to something other than the course before them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Moreover, it can be a great way for your content to stand out from the crowd, especially if you use meta-tags wisely and properly optimize the recordings for search on the Web and in iTunes.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=150579" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1374 1374 Wed, 8 Jun 2011 09:00:00 -0400 <a href="http://www.podcamplondon.com" target="_blank" >Podcamp London</a> is just one of dozens of podcamps that have sprouted up all over the world since the first one took place in Boston in 2006.

That is a 20-cent drop from its previous $0.89 price. The move by the Internet retail giant is seen as an attempt to knock Apple from its perch as the top distributor of music in the world. Currently Apples iTunes store has a 70% market share, while Amazon is a distant second at 10%.<br /> <br /> The LA Times article also highlights some facts about the effect of price changes to music in the iTunes store since last year. In 2010 Apple raised the prices for most new songs in the iTunes store to $1.29, up from $0.99. However, that price increase slowed music sales growth considerably. http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1363 1363 Tue, 3 May 2011 09:00:00 -0400 Typically, whenever something goes wrong with a company or its products and services, the company will try to head off a media free-for-all by releasing a brief statement that usually does only two things: it acknowledges that a problem exists and promises more information at a later date. But as Jason Snell at Macworld notes, Apple does not work that way. <br /> <br /> Instead of doing what everyone expected them to do, which was acknowledge the location tracking issue and promise a fix, Apple let the media have a field day for a week before releasing its official statement. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/30/how-apple-does-damage-control/" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1362 1362 Mon, 2 May 2011 09:00:00 -0400 Podcasting shows no signs of slowing down.

Principal findings of the study included:

* The percentage of Americans who have ever watched or listened to a podcast is 45%, up from 43% one year ago. This equates to approximately 70 million Americans 12+.

* The podcast audience has migrated from being predominantly "early adopters" to more closely resembling mainstream media consumers.

* Podcast consumers continue to prefer consuming content at their desktop, not on dedicated media players, but mobile phone media consumption is surging.

* Podcast consumers index very highly for social networking behaviors.

* Two-thirds of podcast consumers have listened to digital audio files in their vehicles by connecting an iPod or other MP3 player to their car audio system.

You do not have to market to sell something. While that seems odd, and even contradictory, consider that consumers no longer want to be talked at or sold to, rather they want to be the chooser, and if you can educate them, they just might choose you.

Think back to the last few purchases you made. You probably purchased because you needed (or thought you needed) the item in question. We purchase, usually, to fill needs. If your podcast can educate listeners as to thier needs for your product, without ever mentioning the product, then you have created a need where there once was not one.

Each podcaster needs to determine what his or her goals are for the show – overall format and depth of details covered in the recording will determine the length. You will find that half of your audience will want a short show and the other half will want a long show. So you cannot meet everyones desires.

Make the show length want you think is right for you and consider the value the audience is getting from the show based on the topic focus and segments. Do be concise, but have fun and give some of your personality over time as that creates a deeper personal connection with the audience.

While you may not be lucky enough to sell a home for Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, many regular folks in our mobile culture need a trusted professional. A podcast lets you cast a wider net beyond your local market, and for less money than local advertising.<br /> <br /> Do you need more evidence? Podcasting is an effective, cost efficient way to reach the most desirable markets. According to the Arbitron/Edison Media Research Internet and Multimedia 2006 survey, 49% of Women and 51% of men surveyed have listened to podcasts. This makes it an effective medium to reach both sexes. The same study also revealed that Podcasters are well educated with 24% holding advanced degrees, and more likely to live in higher income households. As icing on the cake, podcasters click on relevant advertising.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://infoline.blogatize.net/whatas-in-it-for-you-podcasting-2/" target="_blank" >complete article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1266 1266 Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:00:00 -0400 The Mayo Clinic effort to start a social media center to train physicians and hospitals in the ways of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and podcasting is one of the biggest signs yet that social media in health care has gone mainstream.<br /> <br /> Although no formal studies have outlined proven benefits from using social media, anecdotal evidence of how it has connected physicians and patients -- and the ubiquity of social media use by patients -- is forcing physicians to think about at least dipping a toe into the online pool, experts said.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2010/08/09/bil20809.htm" target="_blank" >complet article</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1265 1265 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 09:00:00 -0400 ~ Educational broadcasts or tutorials<br /> ~ New product releases<br /> ~ Product demos<br /> ~ Seminars and training sessions<br /> ~ Communications within a company or organization<br /> ~ Interviews or news feeds<br /> ~ Company branding<br /> ~ Commentaries<br /> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1264 1264 Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:00:00 -0400 Although USB mics are new on the scene, the technology has been the standard of data transfer for around a decade.

According to Taylor, podcasting is an effective way to build a body of representative works, viewable by all prospective employers.


Podcasting allows individuals to stand out from other applicants who are submitting 1-sheet static resumes.


Unlike YouTube and Facebook, podcasting allows job candidates to control all messages surrounding their online identity.


Prior personalized knowledge of a prospective job candidate makes the first interview more relaxed and productive.

The company is notoriously tight-lipped about its future plans. But sometimes you can get a hint for what is next by surfing a companys job listings.

Apple probably does not advertise the best jobs it has -- the top-secret and super-cutting-edge stuff it recruits for internally.

But currently, Apple has 1158 corporate jobs advertised, 47% of which are at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif.

Out of all the corporate job listings, 53% are for engineers — hardware, software, systems, and mechanical — and others include marketing, legal, and information systems.

Podcasting
Podcasting has the same features with blog; furthermore, podcasting allows users to produce their own audio even video files of what they saw or what they wish. In this way, audiences no longer need to passively wait for their programme on radio or TV, they have become participants.

However, podcasting cannot easily replace blog, same way as broadcasting did not replace newspaper. The way information is broadcasted by blog is based on personality, sharing and open-ended, same way as podcasting.

But it will take producing, uploading, downloading, receiving and feeding back to complete a podcasting interaction cycle. Due to the long time it takes, it is a bit lack on information sharing. Plus podcasting has a strict gateway, most of the uploaded video will need to be approved by administrator before they come online, not like blog.

As the second generation of blog, podcasting attracts many users because its audio and video content. However, just because it is broadcast by pictures, sound and video, users always have to have high quality broadband supply in order to view smoothly.

Writing at washingtonpost.com, Mike Musgrove has a great article about longtime radio pro, Mike OMeara. OMeara lost his on-air gig at 106.7 last year because of a format change. For most of O'Meara's on-air career, losing a radio show would have meant a job hunt and a move to a different market, writes Musgrave.

But, OMeara decided to have a go at Podcasting a show and apparently he is parlaying his 25 years in the Washington, D.C. market into a viable online offering. Read Musgraves article and you will be able to catch more of the details. For pros who have lost their jobs over the past few years and newbies who are looking for a way to get in front of the mike, Podcasting continues to offer a surprising amount of opportunities.

1. Domain Extensions
Many webmasters wrestle not only with choosing the best domain name, but also with the decision of what domain extensions to select for their website. The following is a general guide to what the most popular domain extensions represent...

.com - commercial (by far, the most popular domain extension)
.net - network host (often used by hosting companies)
.edu - educational institution
.org - organization
.info - informational sites

If your primary focus is in a local market, you may find value in a local domain as well.

And not everyone has good taste.

And almost no podcasters are professionals or have pro training or experience in their field or medium.

And almost no podcasters have a budget to procure the right tools.

Why do Most Podcasts Suck?]]> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1187 1187 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 09:00:00 -0500 These days, it seems a teacher can not turn around without seeing a student with those signature white headphones covertly hanging from his or her ears. Rather than fight the iPod epidemic, teachers can use it to their advantage.<br /> <br /> In a 2007 article, the Pew Research Center reported that more than half of American teens own an iPod or MP3 player. The number is up from 1% in 2003 and expected to keep on rising. Since students are spending numerous hours a day listening to their iPods, they can become an invaluable tool for teachers who want to tap into students interests.<br /> <br /> Apple offers free educational tools, educator-created lesson plans, downloads, podcasts and more with iTunes U but there are endless possibilities beyond what Apple has to offer.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.literacynews.com/2010/01/ilearning-using-an-ipod-to-educate/" target="_blank" >Using an iPod to Educate</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1186 1186 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:00:00 -0500 <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/186234/podcast_ces_highlights.html" target="_blank" >Consumer Electronics Show podcast</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1185 1185 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:00:00 -0500 1. Healthy Living
The healthy living trend will continue with more and more westerners becoming conscious of the chemicals used in their products and food. Organic, chemical-free products, and healthy living will prosper in 2010.

2. The Cloud
The virtual "cloud" has grown in 2009. The benefits of virtualization and collective space will continue into 2010, with significant "cloud" growth.

3. Savings
The economic crisis caught many unaware; job security of middle management was tossed a curve in 2009. As a result consumers are becoming more savvy about what they spend their money on, and they are less likely to rely on credit. Savings will grow in 2010.

4. Simplicity in Design
Website load times are said to become part of Google's organic search ranking algorithm in the near future. This will result in smaller website images and simplistic website designs. The web is likely to go retro in 2010, reverting to quick and simple web designs.

5. Web Applications
Web applications, collaboration, and transparency are going to flourish in 2010.

So what is podcasting, anyway? Podcasting is online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed. Many people liken podcasting to radio on demand. However, in reality, podcasting gives far more options in terms of content and programming than radio does. In addition, with Podcasting, listeners can determine the time and the place, meaning they decide what programming they want to receive and when they want to listen to it. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.podcasting-tools.com/what-is-podcasting.htm" target="_blank" >What Is Podcasting?</a> http://www.podcasting-tools.com/blog.htm#1177 1177 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:00:00 -0500 At one time it was possible to pass off a podcast created with the barest of tools--the microphone built into a MacBook or iMac and a free audio editing application. While some podcasts are still created that way and succeed almost entirely because of the quality of their content rather than their less-than-pristine production, the world expects better sound from today's podcasts. To produce that better sound, a higher class of tools is necessary. That said, you do not need to bust your bank account to make a podcast with decent sound.

Here are a few to consider...

Recording Quality
The quality of the recording is probably the most critical component of a podcast. A good podcast is easy to understand, and should be recorded at a volume level that makes it easy for listeners to hear all that is said.

Sound Balance
Adding background music polishes a podcast, but be careful that the music does not overpower the primary content. The background music should be subtle and not distracting. Create a balance that does not compromise the quality of the recording. Also, be sure that the music is not the focal point of a podcast show, unless the topic is about the music -- the emphasis should be on the primary content, and not on the musical arrangements.
