This quarter we are learning about podcast and creating our own.
Podcast is a video or audio file that people can subscribe to. Like a show, there are various episodes and when subscribed the person subscribed will get an update if there is a new episode. The great thing about podcasting is you can enjoy it anywhere and anytime unlike a radio show. It is also something fun you can do because you can talk about any topic you want, in any way, length and form. When creating your own podcast, remember the four P's: Plan, Produce, Publish, and Promote. In planning, you must think about your topic, think of the format you are using and where you will have the podcast. In producing, think of how you are recording and with what tools. In Publishing, think of a name, where you will be posting it, uploading the podcast and crating tags for viewers to find you. Lastly, promote your podcast. Tell your friends, family, post on Facebook and much much more!

Audacity Program is a free program that is a multi-track audio recorder and editor. You can record your voice, place a music track, add sound effect and it will combine it into one audio clip. From the video posted below, it seems very easy to uses and anyone can do it. I am excited to try this program in class and I will report back when I have tried it my self.

Music Beds/Sound Effects are possibly the coolest thing I have seen offered online. It is a website that has hundreds of sounds that you can use for free. These sounds range from instrumental music, the sound of a lawn mower, dogs barking, slamming doors, and much more. These sounds will be helpful for when making a podcast. I can't wait to mess with them!
