In Coming Podcast!

In a recent Ales 204 class we started talking about creating audio files and then sharing them over the internet. This is known as sharing a "Podcast" and is very easy for anyone to do. All you need is some kind of recoding device hardware like your laptop or a phone and then just upload it to the internet for everyone to see or download and then your done! I think this is a great way of sharing ideas because its free and there is not limit really to how long or what you want to say.

 When I first heard Professor Laccetti say the word podcast in class I immediately thought we were going to listen to music. Before this class I only really thought of using podcasts for music especially in the eletro/trance/house/dubstep genre because these kind of Dj artist put up new podcasts on the daily. Check out these artists called "Above & Beyond" that I really like and their podcasts "Trance Around the World". After the class though I learned that podcasts can be used for much more like news, field recording, lecture notes, audio storage files, interviews, story telling and much more. I was even talking to my friend about podcasts after and learned that one of her professors recorded all his lectures and put them up as podcasts for study purposes. This lecture made me realize that this kind of communication tool could be very useful in my field of research which is nutrition. I found out that on the American Society for Nutrition website they had podcasts up of all kind of nutrition facts and lectures. Her was one i found interesting on alcohol and liver disease. 

In our labs we got to experience first hand how to create and share our own podcasts. It was an interesting experience and as I assumed before it was very simple to do. Here is what me and one of my classmates recorded which was us pretending to ask each other interview questions for practise. Also if you look at  another fellow classmate of mine Naomi she has also blogged a post about podcasting which discusses  the same topics as mine. Also she has her own recorded podcast that your guys should check out.
