I have ventured into Podcasting from a friend I met on Twitter. David Lopez, owner of Pezaudio.com has introduced me to podcasting.
For those of you that have considered podcasting, you know it's a ton of fun. Well, OK the idea is fun, not sure how well I like recording, but like most things it becomes easier (I think I sound like a dork on my first interview Podcast). You be the judge!
For those of you that are not familiar with podcasting, here is basically what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"A podcast is a series of digital-media files, which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or authorpodcaster. of a podcast is often called a podcaster"
I learned a lot today while I was able to be interviewed by David for his company and in turn was able to interview him as well (follow the link below to hear it).
I also learned about setting up and publishing a Podcast on itunes. I created a art album (see inset) and now will be doing a podcast for my www.AzRealEstateBlogs.com blog for AZ Real Estate Blogging Network on a regular basis.
For those consumers or readers that don't have time to stick around the computer and need some good listening material while on the road or perhaps want to get caught up on my networking blog or perhaps your real estate news you want to share, can easily subscribe (free of charge) to your podcast through itunes (also a free of charge software).
If they want it on the go, then of course they can just subscribe & sync their ipod and off they can go. I have actually downloaded some podcasts in the past and found it much more convenient to listen to podcasts to some favorite shows while traveling or at the gym (ok, traveling or waiting in a Dr's office).
Imagine the idea of doing a podcast with your weekly updates or market reports. Talk about your popular posts or perhaps a particular subject that is the latest buzz in your market niche!! The possibilities are endless and I think I'm going to give a shot and hope you might too.
David has also agreed to be a contributing author for AZ Real Estate Blogging Network and will be helping people learn how to work within itunes, podcasting and audio technology. He also provides a service if it's just not your thing and does a fine job at making your regular show sound professional and interesting.
If you are interested in hearing my very first Podcast with David, be sure to check it out at www.AZRealEstateBlogs.com or Click Here ( oh -- just go ahead and check out the newest kid on the block with my AZ Real Estate Networking Blog and see our new makeover too! I would love to see you there! Oh and if you feel a little frisky, leave a comment!!
Any questions on how to get started, email me or watch for David's posts soon! In the meantime, happy blogging & podcasting!
Candace, it looks like you're even busier than I am....also seems as if I need to get an iPod....;-) I know who to look to when I have any questions...;-)
