We’re All Ears! (Time to Listen to Your Podcasts!)

Uploading the Podcast Server – Podcast’s Internet home Host on internal or external server Server will generate your RSS feed address for subscription. Many wonderful host servers on the Internet! Libsyn: http://www.libsyn.com/ (Libsyn PRO for educational institutions: http://libsynpro.com/) PodBean.com: http://www.podbean.com LISHost: http://lishost.org/
11
More on Uploading Choose your Host Server Carefully! Be consistent in saving your files. Use tags so users searching the server can find your podcast. Examples: your name, organization name, good subject terms, title keywords. Don’t be an Etsy!
12
Testing & Subscribing to Your Podcast Copy and Paste Your RSS Feed Address (as provided by your host server) into iTunes or your Aggregator Use iTunes for testing – most universal and best support system. Also can use Google Reader For iTunes (iTunes 8 and later) Under the “Advanced” menu, choose “Subscribe to Podcast” Copy and paste the address into the dialog box provided.

Submitting Your Podcast to iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/creatorfaq. html Apple reviews for content and TOS guidelines (about 1 – 3 days) Feeds update once every 24 hours or you can “ping” the podcast to update. iTunesU: http://www.apple.com/education/mobile-learning/ iTunes is just a directory. It is NOT a server!

A Word on Copyright Podcasting Guide: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Podcasting_Legal_Guide Section 3.2.3 applies to librarians and teachers Look for “Podsafe” Content Free Music Archive and PodSafe Music Network LibriVox (for audiobooks): http://librivox.org/ http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Podcasting_Legal_Guide#B ackground_and_Further_Resources. If you’re not sure – err on the side of caution and don’t use it!
17
Final Tips from the Trenches Don’t be boring: Have something new to say and say it in your own way. Don’t freak out about the tech: Listeners are forgiving on the sound issues. Podcasts are not for making money – they’re for making an audience. You spend 75% of time marketing the podcast and 25% recording – be ready to sound your inner rockstar.
