I have been wondering about all these things. How-To’s, though numerous, are still not numerous enough!

Thank you for the clear-cut guide. Of course there’s always other stuff, but it’s nice to have a roadmap.

I like the way you think!! I love podcasts, however, have not given it a try, yet!!

I’m with you as far as reading a blog, rather than listening…something about words on a page. I even love holding a book…must make me tactile.

The advantages of podcasts are HUGE and friends are always sending me something to watch. Soooo…I’ll check out your friend Peter Mello’s, “So You Want to be a podstar” site for further information. Who knows what will happen. :=)

In case anyone is interested in a little more detail about how to produce and distribute a podcast, here’s a presentation that I did last year at PodcampUSCG.

I love doing our Social Geek Radio podcast. We have an outline for each show which is very helpful but I will admit that we are easily steered in a different direction. It’s amazing how many new fans and listeners we have since the podcast can be downloaded from iTunes and played when it is convenient.

Next piece of advice I will follow Gini is a v-Blog

I like what you say about commute times and that you know your audience listens while they are commuting. I’m going to check out your podzine. Thanks for the tips!

We’ve been running a regular podzine for over a year now and I agree with much of what Gini has to say about podcasting, however, we tend to run 40-45 minutes (we polled our target business audience about length of commutes etc.) I’m still a bit sceptical about video due to badwidth issues, the reduction in audio fidelity you get from using youtube etc. and the fact that whilst it convenient and comfortable to listen to spoken word, watching it as well can cause motion sickness problems whilst travelling, good quality video is also a lot more difficult and expensive to record/edit. We have started a podcasting (audio) guide at our blog – Microsperience and would be happy to get feedback, comments suggestions. The one take home from Gini’s article for me though, is that audio is an ever increasing medium – when we had the idea to present this kind of material as audio nearly 2 years ago, the listen base was nothing like as large as it is today.
