the podcast post

on my first day of radio journalism, less than a decade ago, each student was handed a reel of tape, a cutting blade, and some joining tape. we used to sit in the studio for hours splicing and joining (and crying when we accidently destroyed the key part of our interviews) to get rid of the umms and the ahhs to make subjects appear eloquent and succinct.

with digital audio technology things have changed. podcasting is the new pirate radio. however I think the same rules of producing need to apply - that is understand your audience and their limitations. just because you can produce a podcast it doesnt necessarily mean that you should. i read somewhere that as a guide 30 min should be the maximum length of a podcast cause the audience will loose interest if its too long.

here's a list of podcasting libraries. many great ideas for libraries here such as reviews and talks.
