Twelve Tips For a Successful Podcast
Jun 9th
The following list includes factors that make for good podcasting – and particularly those first few podcasts:
1. Keep it short. I suggest you start by creating a 5 minute podcast. A shorter podcast may encourage people to give it a try. If they have to listen to 30 minutes, they might not be so keen to invest the time. You can always increase the length of the podcast as your audience grows.
2. Focus on a particular area of interest and talk in depth on that subject area.
3. Project your personality through the podcast. People will listen to a podcast not just for the information that is included in it, but also because of your style of presentation and your personality.
4. Include anecdotes. Just like in public speaking, from Jesus’ time to the present day, storytelling really livens up any presentation and captures the listener’s attention.
5. Don’t read from a script. Unless you have a gift for enlivening things written down in a script, it is far better to create a framework and speak from the framework using your own words. I would prefer to hear a few ‘umms,’ ‘likes’ and ‘arghs’ and have a presentation made spontaneously than a perfectly read but stultifying presentation made from a script.

How Can You Add Audio to a Blog?
Apr 12th
I had been looking for ways to add extra pizazz to my blogs and sites, and have only just got into audio and podcasts. Podcasts seem to rank well in SEO. I started by reading a couple of my articles to create a soundfile (using Audacity shareware) and LAME shareware as the format converter to.mp3. It was all easy to set up. The results were passable, and I quickly learned how to edit/splice the sound files using Audacity (after getting tired of umpteen re-takes).
Then I looked more closely at WordPress and discovered that I couldn’t just load and go. I dug around and came across a number of articles referring to WordPress plugins such as Cool Player and Anarchy Media Player. I didn’t feel like setting up yet another plug in, with the attendant danger of the software becoming unsupported and so on (lorelle’s WordPress blog was very informative).
So, I got to thinking. I’d just posted a podcast on Podbean and wondered whether I could make use of that. And I did, though it only appears to work on WordPress blogs which are not hosted by WordPress themselves.
