Great Podcasting Day, New Resource Going Live
Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by Ken McGuire in Events, Podcasting
Yesterday saw the delivery of the first audio and video podcasting course for ArtLinks, presented by myself (Ken), along with Alan Slattery and John Morton of Mycrofilms. While Event Media have delivered courses for ArtLinks over the past two years or so, this was the first time (and hopefully not the last) that we’ve combined with Mycrofilms to deliver course content for the arts.
The day itself saw a gathering of techie, non-techie, practicing and non-practicing artists gather to find out about all aspects of podcast, from preparing content, to file formats, examples of software, basic audio and video editing, camera theory, online distribution and lots more. Over the course of six hours it can be hard to cram *everything* you need to know about podcasting in, particularly given the varied audience, but we had a great day out of it, produced a very short podcast by the end of the day and left people with plenty of food for thought on how they could be using podcasts to promote or enhance their activity online.
The slides above are some notes that were used during the day but the real benefit is reaped by those who joined us at No 76 (Kilkenny County Council Arts Office) for demos of various microphones, cameras, online resources and of course the conversations that were sparked as a result throughout the day.
Our thanks to Mary & co. at the Arts Office, Cathy at ArtLinks for organising the day and giving us another opportunity to link up with artists in the South East and to all those who attended the course.
As a result, we’ve decided to press ahead and publish a new blog resource for podcasting which will contain tips and tricks from ourselves, additional notes from our course material and plenty of information to get to you started in the world of podcasting. LovePodcasting.com will be going live by Friday of this week and we’ll be notifying everyone who was on the course when the resources become available.
Based on the feedback returned on from the first running of the course, we hope to shape the podcasting day into a regular feature. Keep an eye on the Event Media blog for more when that happens.
