OK, finally I do get podcasting. I reread Cindy's intro and this time I really thought about "AUDIO FILE + RSS FEED = PODCAST." I was so focused on the audio v video, I totally missed the RSS implications.
But, I have to say that I'm not thrilled with the idea of subscribing to audio feeds. In part, it's because I am so over-subscribed already. In part, it is learning styles - I am not an audio learner. I want the control print offers to skip and go back, to assess the length and quality without being immersed in the text. I can make the trade off for visual interest with video, but audio just doesn't do it for me. Also, I really prefer the dip-in feel of YouTube over the commitment of podcasting.
I am thinking that offering content to meet a variety of learning styles is as critical as meeting different generational expectations.
One other thing - I'm doing this post from home to see how that works.
