Odeo podcasting

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Well, I’m working on podcasting technology for work, so I figured I’d better get my feet wet and learn how to do it. As such, here is a lame example of me talking into a microphone for 16 seconds (approximately):

Incidentally, this player is Google’s, as seen in Gmail. Not the prettiest, but it’s the only one I could figure out how to use with Wordpress, so far.

As podcasting hosts go, Odeo.com seems pretty good, and pretty much free. I’ve also tried Gabcast.com, which has its benefits, but I think I’m leaning towards Odeo at the moment.

In the end, I doubt I’ll be using any hosting service, though, since the goal is for the podcasts to only be available inside the firewall at work. This is just a convenient way for me to test out some ideas.
