Podcasts - Not Just for Talk
I’m slowly falling in love with the idea of podcasts. I’ve discovered in the past few days that podcasts aren’t just for talk (news, interviews, etc.). Two of my favorite bands - Umphrey’s McGee & String Cheese Incident have podcasts of concerts available. I’ve subscribed to both bands’ podcasts through iTunes, which may be the best podcast-management software available right now (aside from being the best audio-management software altogether). Podcasts are free, which is always good. The only drawback to music podcasts is the fact they are one, big, long audio file - not separated into tracks like CDs. However, since they’re free, can I really complain about it?
I’m currently subscribed to a few other podcasts - John Piper’s Desiring God Radio, Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz), Derek Webb, the Vine (Southeast’s young adult worship service), and a few more.
I spent yesterday creating a podcast for The Point’s weekly sermons. The feed is available through the media site, and will be on iTunes in the coming days.
Next, I plan on doing monthly podcasts through this blog. I’ve lined up my first two podcasts, but I’m not sure where we’ll go from there. In the case of the Josh Martin Band, I’ve considered podcasting each one of our performances, depending on how well the recording turns out from each show. I think the whole idea is fabulous.
hi Andrew! Emily gave me your web address, so i could look at “your work” haha.
I was skeptical at first about podacsts cause…i don’t know, I thought they were weird and I didn’t understand it, but now I think they’re pretty cool, especially to listen to at work.
I didn’t know Donald Miller had one, I’ll have to subscribe. I look forward to hearing your monthly podcast!

[...] Several months ago (understatement), I blogged about the possibility of doing podcasts through this …. Keeping true to that word, I’ve finally picked up a piece of equipment to make it very easy. The M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96. It records direct to Compact Flash, comes with a stereo microphone (I have another one that I might use, however), and has MP3 & WAV recording capability. I will likely use it to record TPCC sermons as well (or be my backup). I’ve been needing (wanting?) something to replace my Nomad Jukebox 3 which is not Mac-compatible. I think this will do the trick. Files can be transferred via USB. Once they’re on the computer, I’ll dump them into Audacity or Tracktion, edit them and they’ll be ready to go. It will likely get use during my drum practice sessions and with JMB as well. Permalink | Trackback | | | Print This Post [...]
