Inital Podcast

May 18, 2007

We did something different today. We did a a podcast. For those of you who need a definition like I did; podcast is to computers what radio is to the real world. Blogging is newspaper. Videoblog is television. Or that’s how Jon and Darla have carefully explained it to me. Technophobe that I am, I was a little reluctant to do the podcast. More tech, ah!
But Jon coaxed me into it by saying, just try it. If it doesn’t work then we don’t have to do it again. Reasonable, very reasonable. So, off we went to try and do the podcast.
First, let me say that I have a new appreciation for sound booths, and things that muffle ambient noise. Second, the doorbell rang at inconvenient moments. Third, lots of things made noise that you never really notice make noise when you’re using a mic sensitive enough to do a good podcast. Okay, I don’t know if it’s good, but it’s done. We’ll get smoother at it as we go, but it’s done, it’s up, our first ever podcast.
What did we talk about? We answered questions from the forum. Let me say that I add a bit at the end about how we didn’t answer any Merry questions, when as I listened to it after it was recorded, there was a Merry question. So, sorry about that bit at the end I was a little overwhelmed by the whole new tech thing. New tech always makes me nervous.
If the podcast works for you guys, the fans, and for us, then we’ll do more of them. It wasn’t terribly hard to do, I guess. Just nerve wracking finding a quiet place to do it.
Okay, so here’s the address so you can download the podcast. I let Jon type now, you sooo don’t want me trying to explain how to get to the right place for downloading anything.
