Comments on: podcasting class http://www.kayesweetser.com/archives/29 This used to be a metablog, a blog about blogs. Now it is just a blog by me: Kaye D. Sweetser, Ph.D., APR. It's a blog on social media, research, teaching, Navy, life. It's all fair game for mass communicating.

Audacity, Levelator -- both great. Record directly into your computer. Plug in a mic (if you have a Mic In; if not, buy a USB mic). You will do great!

She didn't actually cast her lectures but rather extra nuggets of information that would help students in the course. She might be able to advise you about the software she used as well as the ups and downs of the adventure... You remember who taught that class when you got your phd, but if you want I can get in touch with her about this. Good luck with it!

I'd suggest downloading the free program Audacity to do any editing you need for the sound file. As Steve said - the Levelator is incredible, a must use tool for spoken word podcasts. Also, here's a post from Robert French about the podcasting upload process at prblogs.org (it might be somewhat useful) http://prblogs.org/2007/03/04/more-upgrade-news-how-to-podcast-at-prblogs-dot-org/ Feel free to drop me an email if you've got any further questions!

Sounds like a great idea to me, though. It will be a lot of extra work. For instance, what will your podcast consist of? The lecture given in class, a short version or something completely different (but still related to the course, of course)? Just don’t say anything that’ll rile-up David Horowitz.
