PodCasts Explaned and Expounded
Lately, A friend of mine is callling me a "ipod toughy" and though I don't know exactly what he means, I'm hoping he isn't confusing my obesssion with podcasts as a sales pitch for an Ipod. Everytime I'm talking to him lately, I've gotta at some point bring up my obsession with podcasting, and I think he's assuming I'm trying to get him to buy a piece of hardware, and not just experience a verrrrry kewl new revoloution, and perhaps be on the bus closer to the front.
See, I'm a loud mouth with a lot to say, and opinions about most everything, so podcasting is my new best friend and future audio confidant. I've put together a few sample files and am getting ready to begin hosting my own daily / bi-daily / tri-weekly or whatever podcast on topics that make sence for people in my situation, (which is consultants working from home and bugging around internet looking for "stuff"). Instead of listening to what some program director thinks you should hear, you select what shows you are interested in and get only those. Podcasting is to the internet what pirate radio was to collage campus's around the world. It's like free porn, you can get it, enjoy it, and not feel guilty about it.
This being said, I'm not trying to sell anyone anything along the lines of hardware... you can listen to podcasts on your PC even without a ipod, and I listen to the Daily Source Code off my PC, everytime I get a new one. On my Ipod Mini or Creative Zen Xtra, I prefer things like Dawn and Drew, Daily Download and Distorted View for my drive time, and the Reel Reviews, Radio Adventure of Dr.Floyd or IT Conversations for listening time with the family. These are just MP3 (audio) files that are avaliable for anyone. Not a sales pitch, just that nerd friend we all have trying to hook everyone up with a kewl new technology.
Well folks, todays lesson is that You don't need an Ipod to listen to podcasts, they just took off on the IPod because of it's prevelance in the market. All you need is any computer and an ear for talent.... have a good morning all...
