5 Reasons Meredith Thinks Your Podcast Sucks
How badly a podcast sucks is highly subjective, and subject mostly to how close you are to either the subject or the producer. This means that if, say, you have a buddy who does a podcast on flight sim games, and you are also a flight sim nut, your opinion of the show will be way more forgiving on it than mine will be.
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.

Using an iPod to Educate
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.
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.
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.

2010 Predictions
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.

Reflections on the Power of Podcasting
When it comes to podcasting as a medium, I am a true believer. No, it never exploded the way microblogging or social networks have, but the number of podcasts, the adoption of podcasting by mainstream media, and the number of listeners continues to grow incrementally, not to mention general public awareness of the medium. I love the idea of niche-oriented shows that appeal to smaller audiences than are required to support radio or television shows. I have become A Podcaster and I just ca not imagine not doing it.

Podcasting Definitions
Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among the techie crowd. 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.

MacWorld Lists Their Favorite Podcasting Tools
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 some tools we like and recommend.
