A few observations about Podcasts that I have gleaned from my experience in the past day and a half.
1. A script for an instructional podcast must me tight, tight, tight. I started with about two or three subjects that were interconnected and by the end of the day concluded that a single topic to be well covered in a three to four minute session would be my first effort in the Podcast production world.
2. I am amazed by the amount of clean up that can be accomplished in the editing process. The technique of pausing and recasting over fumbles does create a web imprint. The take I settled on couldn't be called "warts and all" but less warts than before. But, hey, shouldn't podcasting reflect the populist web 2.0 medium that is at its essence. This can't really be about making an army of Paul Harvey/Charles Kuralt mutants, is it?
3. The nylon stocking wind screen works!! I had my doubts, a nylon sock in an embroidery frame placed over the microphone did indeed wipe out lots of hot spots in my delivery.
To be continued...
