I love music, I love driving, and I love listening to music while I drive.
Spring break, for me and my friends, is the time to take road trips. Last year, we drove to New Jersey to visit a friend, the entire drive we listened to our Ipods. Rarely was there a time that just the radio was playing.
With our obsession with The OC, Laguna Beach, and Sex and the City, I can only imagine how we would have been had we thought of transferring our favorite shows to our Ipods, but the thought never crossed our minds. This spring break might be a little different though.
The great thing with the Ipod is that I can choose what I want to listen to and when. More than likely with my -€˜pod', everything on the playlists will fit my liking.
Imagine if we could listen to topics that interest us whenever we wanted. Recording a radio talk show on cassette is in the past, recording a talk show by podcasting is the future.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Podcasting is dangerous, at least for me.
I enjoy Podcasts. I like wasting my time and spending it searching for Podcasts that interest me. Apple iTunes allows me to purchase my favorite shows, such as The OC, for download onto my Ipod.
Lawrence.com has the right idea with differing podcasts, but still, I want more.
One thing I look for when searching for podcasts is a variety of topics, podcasters, and lengths. Sometimes I want to hear about sports, other times it's entertainment, and then there are the times when it's just nonsense I want to hear.
At KUJH it seems hard to find the right genre for podcast topics. Should we focus on the news? How about education? Or, get ready, how about both?
If someone offered me extra credit to do a podcast for tv.ku.edu, I'd do it.
I'm more comfortable talking that writing, and that's something I would take advantage of. Put it in to the 415, 692, 693, and 694 curriculums that students receive a certain amount of credit to do one news podcast and one entertainment podcast, and see what they come up with.
If some of our blogs were podcasts, I think tv.ku.edu and ehub would get more traffic from a different crowd. I know I would be interested in a Podcast that was personal. Sometimes people are interested in more than news, that is something KUJH and tv.ku.edu can tap into.
I think the Beta version of Yahoo! Podcasts is on the right track. It offers a variety of topics that almost anyone can find an interest in.
Podcasting is catching on, I've noticed with my friends and acquaintances that people understand what it is and what is out there.
It's seems like forever since my first road trip listening to mixed CDs, and thank god that won't be happening again. Maybe this year I'll be listening to some of our own podcasts from KUJH.
