GarageBand’s Podcast Service
We’ve had a number of emails this week from people in bands asking about how they can podcast. One answer is GarageBand’s podcast service http://www.garageband.com/podcast

I gave it a try and building a podcast of songs was pretty easy. Just put the songs into a playlist and then publish to make a podcast. I can’t see how to add comments to the songs – maybe a feature they can add later.

They even give you a little player you can put on your website. I put one on the homepage to give it try. Hope you like country.

If you’re looking for an easy way for a band to get started – this is worth a look.

For more ideas on how to get started podcasting, check this post at the Digital Podcast Forum.

TODAY’S PODCASTING NEWS
Podcasting: A Work in Progress
NewsFactor via Yahoo! News Thu, 28 Jul 2005 11:51 AM PDT
Podcasting might best be described as a work in progress. As quickly as the developers of one podcast technology launch an innovative market idea, a competing developer comes along to introduce another concept. Meanwhile, would-be listeners of podcast programming struggle with competing technologies.

Sex and Podcasting
- This site isn’t about sex, I just put the word in to get your attention (an idea I borrowed from Lorenzo Milam, friend and author of Sex and Broadcasting). Rather than sex, these are reflections on podcasting by an aging community radio organizer. Contains policy and community podcasting observations, “how to” ideas, and music. The podcasts are each about 10 minutes long – half talk, half music. The music is licensed from BMI. No sex though.
