A friend that I got interested in the podcasting revolution wrote me and gave giving recording time-shifted digital audio a try. Not surprisingly he was sheepish and self-critical not only about the finished product, but of the voicing process in general. Take it from me, because I do it all - recording...

Well, when Microsoft said it wanted to refer to RSS-packaged content as "web feeds " , they weren't kidding. MarketWatch reports that Microsoft is now starting to offer podcasts, referring to them as such, but using a new little orange graphic to vsiaully indicate the presence of a feed. I'm glad to...

I previously blogged about my interest in finding and/or developing a web-based podcatcher application, to aggregate RSS feeds for downloading podcastable MP3s. It seems logical that the main roadblock to overcome is how to facilitate the transmission of large amounts of data for download through a web...

I've really enjoyed using ther web-based LiteFeeds.com as my RSS reader for blogs, and with the Windows beta release of iPodderX (being able to aggregate RSS feeds for both blogs and podcasts), I've started thinking about what it would take to build a web-based podcatcher client. The hard thing would...

Tea Vui Huang has created MMS Podcast, a slick app to allow enhanced podcasts to be chapterized for playing on a mobile phone via MMS. It's extremely cool. He also previously (like last week) wrote JavaCast , a J2ME MIDlet that allows enhanced podcasts to be enjoyed on Java-enabled phones. MMS Podcast...

Ever the marketer, I'm always on the hunt for the next big thing. As a software developer, I'm always eager to build the damn thing myself. And as a proud podcaster, I'm always wondering who's going to conceive a universally-applicable business model to really allow a podcast producer to make good money...

I recall Adam Curry playing several podcast promos a few months ago mentioning downloadable digital content specifically for the visually-impaired, and how he agreed that such content was necessary and without doubt helpful for legitimizing podcasting. Recently, I got e-mail from someone in the U.S....

I'm anxiously anticipating the day when one of the tech publishers like Fawcette puts together a printed, real-life magazine for us podcasters. It can contain lists of URLs to RSS feeds from the very best (and not so well-known) shows; tips on subscribing, recording and promoting a show; interviews with...

I feel like a total goof today...to manage my podcast subscription lists across multiple platforms and on multriple devices, I mentioned before how I'm writing a .NET server to centrally maintain these lists , and then bake-in some additional functionality like being able to mark certain feeds as having...

I previously asked whether mashups , as in remixed/intertwined versions of popular songs, were considered podsafe, as in capable of being played in a podcast without fear of retribution from the FCC or anyone else. Ian Smith doesn't think so , and poses a very compelling argument why. With RIAA having...
