Podcast

I created my first ever Podcast over the weekend and then tonight I struggled to export it as an MP3. The creation of the podcast uncovered yet another incompatible element between my Mac and the rest of the world. For some reason, the application I needed to download so that my other application (Audacity) would be able to change my file to an MP3 would not work properly. I was finally able to burn the file on to a disc and use my husband's computer so that I could complete my podcast. Technology once again shows that while it has almost limitless possibilities, some of the actual workings themselves are quite limited.

I was pretty pleased with my first podcast however. I chose a topic that was dear to my heart - marriage and football - and a background song that could apply to either topic discussed during the podcast. I was going to try and insert the podcast into this blog, but my options appear to be photos or video with nothing for audio (again technology seems to be limiting me today, must be one of those days...).

I would absolutely recommend that others make their own podcasts. It was such a fun and rewarding experience. Even if the technology briefly fails you, if you try a few other options, you'll get there and you'll like where you end up better.
