Archangel Episode 8

June 17th, 2008 Posted in Blog Post | No Comments »

ArchangelI was given the opportunity to read “the story so far” for Archangel, episode 8. Scott Roche has been weaving a nice little yarn and it was a pleasure to read for his podcast novel. I also got a little sneak peek because I knew what had happened in episode 7 before it was released.

5 Easy and Inexpensive Ways to “Go Green”

June 2nd, 2008 Posted in Podcast | No Comments »

A recent podcast by my buddies over at Geeks & God challenged me to come up with 5 easy ways that you can “go green”. I wanted my list to be low-tech, practical and inexpensive. Most of the tips in today’s podcast cost you zero dollars. All of them will save you money and help out the environment at the same time. For the record, they are:

  1. Install a clothesline and dry you clothes outside
  2. Bring a reusable mug to work for your beverages instead of using up all those cups.
  3. Brown-bag it! Driving to lunch wastes gas!
  4. Wash and reuse those Zip-loc bags
  5. Don’t speed.

All of these tips, except for the first one, cost you nothing and they will help you to save money alomg with helping our environment. Do you have any clever or inexpensive ways to “go green” AND save money? Leave me a comment and let me know!

No interview this week. In fact, I wasn’t originally going to even post a podcast this week due to the holiday but I changed my mind. I hope you enjoy the tech news I’ve discussed this week and please make sure you visit The Jesus Geeks Podcast. Chris responded to my 5 Minute Interviews promo and provided me with a great promo for his podcast. Other topics covered this week:

Podcast ID3 Tags

May 22nd, 2008 Posted in Blog Post | 2 Comments »

ID3 tagsIf there’s one thing that drives me batty when it comes to podcasters and podcasting it’s inconsistent ID3 tags. When I start sifting through the dozens of podcasts I’ve downloaded and the “Album name” on a podcast has changed or the “Genre” is “Blues” it makes me want to scream! Is it so hard to make sure you enter the same information every time? Wikipedia’s definition of ID3 is a follows:

ID3 is a metadata container most often used in conjunction with the MP3 audio file format. It allows information such as the title, artist, album, track number, or other information about the file to be stored in the file itself.

My definition is a little simpler:

It’s the information a media player needs to categorize and identify the file it’s playing and reading.

ID3 tags are very important to your listeners whether they know it or not. Consistent ID3 tags ensures that your podcast can be sorted and arranged for the listener. When your ID3 tags are inconsistent or non-existent then the listener has to sift through their device to find your podcast. Make sure that you ID3 tags stay consistent so that your listeners can easily find your podcast in the ever-growing play-lists they have on their devices. If a listener can’t find your podcast in the haystack that is their media files you can be sure that eventually they will unsubscribe from your podcast and not bother listening.

Is there anything about podcasting that bothers you? Leave a comment and let me know!
