Re: I am disappointed with the iSeries podcast community. What REALLY is a podcast?

Sorry, been busy here and haven't responded.

I am very much willing to help out. In all honesty creating a podcast is
simple, you just need a microphone and a way to record. I personally use
Castblaster ($50), but others use Audacity (free). Then you need a way to
put out a RSS feed with enclosures.

But my problem so far is there is two or three "podcasts" that are claiming
to be podcasts that aren't. I will avoid calling these people out, but one
group requires you to "register" for the podcast show,then the link to the
file gets emailed to you (NOT a podcast by definition). Another allows you
to watch video on the site, but no RSS feed with enclosures.

Trevor's not one I am calling out. His is really easy to fix. Treavor, there
is two options since you are using WordPress. 1) Install the PodPress plugin
(just Google it). 2) On the custom fields add "enclosure" then the link to
the file.

If anyone needs help or wants help just email me at
mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If I can't answer it, I know serveral others
that can.

Mike:

My sense of it is we need you to step up and help.  iSociety is a group of
folks that exist to promote the System i and do it in the ways that we see
fit.  If you were to contact Trevor, although I suspect he already has you
in his must call list, you might find out we could use your talents.  As
to doing it alone, you won't be.  There is a group of folks dedicated to
making this work with the support of (not control by) COMMON providing
much of the infrastructure to tie it all together.  No editorial
oversight, except for language and such.  The hard part as I see it is
finding the content as much as the technical aspects of setting up a
podcast.  Remember we are just starting out.  Not even Midrange-L was as
powerful as it now is at first.
