What's Next for You?
Chris Brogan...
having attended such a great session. How many of you are going out to
buy gear, and what? Which of you is already building the slide deck to
show the boss why they finally have to give budget to this?
Personally, it gave me enough information to figure out a way to
contribute and be helpful. I'm looking forward to building on that.
I'd love to get in touch with anyone who attended, or anyone looking to
share ideas on what to do with this.

the podcast will focus on the Higher Ed market, one our YourStorys
verticals. Noble and Greenough School has experimented this year with
a course that uses podcasting as a way to extend and enhance their
learning experience. I will interview the teacher there and will
probably also speak with the Harvard Extension professor about his
program. For this I may have to purchase the telephone recording
devices. Since I will do this as a video blog, I would much prefer to
shoot and see the people. I will know more later on monday after our
crew meets in its regular monday meetings.

I was actually inspired to start a podcast by the Podcast Academy.
After hearing about some of the equipment available to users on a
budget, I went out and bought an iRiver 799 and some mics to start an
interview show about Boston.
It is called Boston Behind the Scenes
(http://www.bostonbehindthescenes.com/), and twice a month I'll show
you what it is like to be part of some Boston experience. I've
interviewed the executive chef of the most popular pastry shop in the
city (Mike's), talked to the drivers of our amphibious Duck Tours, had
dinner with a pamphlet-wielding subway evangelist, and even found out
what it is like to join the circus.
Only two episodes are currently available, but I have material for many
more in the can. I'd love to hear feedback from any of the attendees!

It wasn't directly a result out of the Podcast Academy, but I did
launch a new podcast shortly after it called Managing the Gray that
focuses on digital marketing and that space. No music at all.
http://www.managingthegray.com is where you can check it out.
I've been very happy with the response and the user interaction has
been top notch.

What I like about podcasts is the point of view the podcaster brings to
their subject. Their interest in the subject and their curiosity in
discover and delivery of the material can be so refreshing.
I loaded on YourStorysPodcast Espisode 2 with Douglas Kiang, Academic
Technology Advisor for Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA. just
now. I am using Audioblog, now Hipcast and Blogger.

I would like to use my own site,instead of Blogger and Hipcast, but I
am not sure how to do that right now. I want more control of the page
from which the Episode will run. I want to streamline the process,
maybe follow a number of the lessons Michael Geoghagen shared. Episode
3 will be in the Business Sector. YourStorysPodcast attended the May
monthly meetings of the MITX, CEO Roundtable, and Boston ENET regular
meeting where we see various people deliver the elevator explanation.
We discuss the value of going and belonging. The first step to
building your business is get out your front door. That is Episode 3
coming in Early June.
What I would like to do with podcasting is go interview interesting
people, on subjects that are directly related to our spheres of
interest. That is pretty broad. I know. Big talk for Episode 2. My
favorite part is the japanese cooking show and the music with the
french vocabulary. I caution you about the science experiment, it
doesn't start with a bang.

something such as Hipcast or Libsyn to host the physical MP3 files so
that you don't have bandwidth worries.
This is what I did with AH in the early days. I had my site hosted on
a random web hosting site, but my files lived on Libsyn. You never
know when your bandwidth is suddenly going to spike and it's always
better to not have to worry about it rather then suddenly getting
slappd with a huge bill.

I'm especially looking forward to the Duck Tour interviews because I finally took a Duck Tour (quack!) when I was in Boston for the Podcast Academy and it was a blast. Our driver even had an ipod attached to the dashboard and I wondered what that was about.
Sounds like you're going to be having a lot of fun!

PS Can I ask what kind of mic you use with your iriver? I use an iriver 899 but my Sony mic doesn't pick up enough volume through it so I'm limited to the built-in (which is quite good, I think).

For the interviews you hear on my new show, I'm using the Giant Squid
"Mini Gold Plated Mono Mic"
(http://www.giant-squid-audio-lab.com/gs/gs-minigold1.htm). You'll be
hearing some binaural recordings in the future, as well as some two-mic
interviews. Everything I have is powered by the iRiver alone.
The Intro/Outro portions are recorded on a Blue Snowball USB Mic at
home.
Oh, and the Duck Tours episode will be up on Monday of next week.

the area since 1980 I should know about these funny tour buses that go
by and why they quack at all the business people.
