Summary: This bonus podcast features audio from my Friday, July 17, presentation on podcasting at the 2015 Association of Alternative Newsmedia's annual convention (http://www.altweeklies.com) in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here are the updated pdfs (http://itsalljournalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/HowtoPodcast2015-finalnew.pdf) from my presentation. I tried to give a down and dirty, quick and easy guide to launching a podcast, including some of the technology you need to master. There are lots of different ways to produce a podcast and there are lots of questions to think about beyond recording and posting audio, like: * Who is your audience? * What type of content would they be interested in listening to? * How much time are you willing to commit to a regular podcast? * How much money are you willing to spend? This isn't the first time our podcast has talked about podcasting. Here are a couple of related podcasts that touch on this subject: Pop Goes the Podcast at Awesome Con (http://itsalljournalism.com/pop-goes-the-podcast-at-awesome-con/) #114 – So you wanna podcast? Tips on how to be an online audio star (http://itsalljournalism.com/114-so-you-want-to-learn-how-to-podcast/) I also appeared on the JellyVision Show recently talking about podcasting: Podcasting Will Change Your Life: Ep. 184 with Michael O’Connell of It’s All Journalism Podcast (http://thejellyvisionshow.podbean.com/e/podcasting-will-change-your-life-ep-184-with-michael-oconnell-of-its-all-journalism-podcast/) My goal was to demonstrate that podcasting is really not that difficult to do, once you break down the basics. It's also an incredibly flexible platform that allows for a great deal of freedom of expression and creativity. Let us know if you launch a podcast.
