Simple Definition of a Podcast

Great find Shane....

I particularly liked their simple definition of a Podcast, "The best way to understand podcasting is to imagine a merger between blogging and radio". 

I looked around the site for a bit and was a little frustrated by some broken links, but they were definitely in the minority. I love the way things are categorized and made so that areas of interest are simple to find. One thing that creators of podcasts will need to learn is to properly name their podcast. Me naming mine "Mark's Podcast #1" is useless.

Another thing I'll be thinking of when I get around to having my students do this is the quality of sound. I find a lot of the sound (particularly from the primary grades) features a person talking so low you have to crank up the volume, then another practically blowing my speakers! Also, I'll have to watch the buzzing sounds and background noises that appear often. I think investing in a good quality microphone will be essential!
