Arts High Instructor Embraces Podcasting to Promote Student Achievement and Enrich Lessons

Podcasting Case Study
My business partner, OG, and I knew that we wanted to create a podcast from the very beginning. Why? We had done a local radio show together called Dollars and Sense (well….it was my show, but he was a frequent guest). He had been a good guest, always was entertaining, and had a distinct point of view.
Sadly, we did not know podcasting host platforms such as Libsyn from Libya. I had no idea how a podcast found its way onto iTunes or even how the file was recorded. We decided not to let that stop us, and it should not stop you.

Podcasting is NOT for Every Business
Podcasting as a business content marketing strategy isn’t about attracting huge traffic numbers or generating tons of new clients. There are people who do not read blogs or watch YouTube videos, preferring podcasts as a way to consume content and over time some of these people will become your clients. But to set realistic expectations, if counting numbers are your goal for podcasting, you will mostly likely be dissatisfied with the result.
Additionally, podcasting puts us on display and in a very vulnerable situation. As a podcaster we must be able to translate our enthusiasm and command for a topic through the microphone. If we do not have the personality or disposition for podcasting we can damage your brand. Just as podcasting can build deep, rich relationships with our audience, it can just as easily destroy our authority if we sound horrible.

Podcasting Revival
Podcasting was cool when I started the blog four years ago but as social media became fashionable Facebook and Twitter made podcasting look a tad obsolescent and dowdy.
Not sexy or trendy was the phrase that crossed my mind.

The growth and rapid adoption of smart phones. You can now get your podcast direct to your phone without having to hook up your iPod to the computer.
The explosive growth of an online media portal where you can publish and download your podcasts…. called iTunes

Top Podcasting Tips for Great Sound
What defines a good podcast? 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.
