Podcasting
OK this is reckoned to ultra cool , the most zeitgsty stuff around, and I was very nervous about moving into it.
I have still got too many memories of struggling with html and web design to view another "learning experience" as yet another battle with new technology .
But last night at the Electron club in Glasgow's CCA it was a possible experience and I am sold on podcasting. This is story-telling brought into the 21st century and yes I am going to take my laptop with me to Wales and start collecting some oral history there.
The whole evening kicked off to a good start, something I took as a very good omen,when I walked in and found people seated around a huge round table with Apple laptops ( mostly) .
I was in Apple country: intuitive, safe, arty,graphic , music.
At the end of the evening we had all made our first podcast and uploaded it to the net. No small achievement!…thanks to John Harris, Michelle Kasprzak and Simon Yuill.
