How to Podcast the Simple Way

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Wanna podcast? Wanna put it on your blog? Don’t know where the fuck to start? I gotcha covered The other day in my ‘net travels I found a new website that is making podcasting super simple and it’s 100% free. *nods* I like free, free is good. I’m sure you like free as well. I feel an introduction is in order. Readers meet Odeo, Odeo meet my readers!

So, I tried it out and found that it works extremely well. Here’s the overview of the whole deal:

1. Sign up for the free account.

2. Go right to the studio to “Record New Audio”.

3. Record your podcast.

4. Save it.

5. Odeo gives you a snippet of code that you just copy and paste into your post.

6. Publish your post annnnnnd yer done!

I did a test recording using their studio software to see how the whole thing worked and this was the result for your listening pleasure:

Here’s a screenshot of the actual recording area of the site where you make your podcast:

They also provide a few different styles of players so you don’t just have to use the default player. Here’s a screenshot of the current styles you can pick from:

I think this is pretty cool, it’s like Blogger for podcasting *chuckle* And incidentally one of the guys who helped create this service (Evan Williams) was the same guy who created Blogger Little history trivia factoid there for ya to impress your bloggin’ buddies with.

Anywhoot, if you’re wanting to do up a podcast for your blog go get signed up and make sure you come back here and tell me that you have one posted so I can go listen to ya!
