Podcasting for Dummies (like me)

I am so challenged when it comes to technology and anything computer related really. It takes me a while to understand and be able to perform any function involving a computer. This week I've been learning not only about computers, but specifically the audio world. Even more specifically: podcasts.

I listened to a podcast,
Podcasting for Dummies. I listened to episode 1: "how to make a basic podcast". It didn't sound very basic for me. Podcasts really take a lot of time, software (such as Audacity), and even money. They can become even more complicated with a co-host or trying to create a podcast with multiple recordings!

On a positive note there are millions of podcasts out there which gives a large selection. Anyone can find something that appeals to them. Also who doesn't love something that's free? Subscribing for free to podcasts is a major plus.


Overall I am not the biggest fan though. They're very popular and there are millions of podcasts out there. I think I'll stick to blogging, vlogging, and screen (not pod!) casts.

  1. I felt like a pod casting "dummy" too. I think I could get used to it, but I never like hearing my own voice, so editing would be torture.

  2. I agree free podcasts are great! It makes it easy to try something out with no commitment, and no guilt if you end up hating it.
