How cool is PodCasting?

Though I will admit that I don’t know all the ins and outs of PodCasting, from what I do know, it’s awesome.

I am one that would not have minded becoming a very hip and amazing disc jockey. Seeing that those plans went by the wayside, and I kick myself for not being a part of my undergrad’s radio station, I think that PodCasting would suit me.

I made one small attempt to share this revelation with my Man. He gave me the Weird Look and changed the topic to something more pertinent to our current lifestyle. I couldn’t argue with him…it does come across as being a bit odd. While he is trying to become accustomed to the new Tech World that exists, he is more laidback and not as excited: “Honey, we can have our own quasi radio show?!” To which I get: “Mmmm…….”

Right. I had that same conversation with him when I told him I wanted an iPod. I still do not have one. That’s for another time, though…

So, I love to read how more and more folks across the world are becoming connected thru PodCasting whether they know it or not. Hell, there is even a “PodCasting for Dummies” book out there….I mean, do we not have a revolution or what?

So when I read this article on parents helping the world out, I thought it was a great thing: Parents Get Together Via iPod ‘Radio’

Maybe this Tech thing is going to make our lives a bit less stressful. At least the intentions are there.

Perhaps one day I will be allowed to tamper with my dream from a former life of being a DJ. I’m just not making any promises.

  1. You are too funny. You need to bring him kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

    Podcasting is very cool. I just read an article which I sent off to my Mom about some doctor’s out in Arizona who have put together pre-surgery, post-op and more podcasts for their patients to download for free and learn straight from the horses mouth what is going to happen to them and how they can heal.

    Podcasting like blogging is time consuming. More so podcasting usually requires some sort of schedule, and generally if your doing an informational podcast then a bit of time for research.

    I did one, but it was between friends and only one episode. Garage Band on the Apple certainly does make it quite easy.

    You gotta break from the Dummie books :-)
