Podcasting, what is it?
Podcasting is readily available for anyone who wants to voice their everyday goings ons via the internet. There are many broadcast Podcast forums one can join. PodOmatic is one such broadcasting forum brustling with people from all walks of life with varying subjects to feed into anyones computer through RSS feed.
On one particular Podcasters' site, he is an up and coming musician trying become known world-wide for his music. Lee Brooks makes MP3'S and then uploads them for others to listen who have subscribed to his feeds. "It is the wave of the future," says Lee. "I feel like I am a radio DJ. I can post anything I like. I keep it to posting my music but I plan to eventually host other musicians and post my knowledge of video games, which I enjoy playing with my children ages 13 to 23. I'm trying to get my nephew, who goes by the name Young Johnny, to get into it. We have an upcoming album titled, Pump Station. It's all about leaving behind my legacy for me."
Another Podcaster is known as Slimdog. He is a producer making his way to the top. His professional resume speaks for itself. "I got into it initially because it's a good way to get your music heard around the world." says, Slimdog. "If people like it, then they would keep tuning in. It has helped me promote my music that is in the movie/documentary, Mixtape Inc., The Movie, which is coming out on dvd in May and get people to gain an interest in the movie as well. It's the best thing that you can do as an indie artist trying to get heard!!! Catch me at: www.myspace.com/slimdog. I am already in the podcasts at Yahoo.com, iTunes, Podcast.net, Podcast Alley, Digital Podacst and Podcasting News. If you want a podcast that is not listed, hit me up at: Slimdog027@msn.com and I'll send it to you."
Wikipedia explains thoroughly every aspect of this trend in technology. Some Podcasts are free while others require payment. The sky is the limt to subjects one can broadcast on their Podcast shows. I hope everyone checks out a Podcast at least once in their lives or better yet, become a Podcaster.
