podcasts are more useful than lectures says this lecturer

On line pod cast tools podomatic and odeo both give free recording, storage and sharing of podcasts. Here and here are a couple of postings on the subject by Eds Up blogger Nick Noakes of Hong Kong.

Last Sunday I was pleased to be invited to speak at a round table discussion about education, podcasting and community radio, that was broadcast by the Irish community radio station Near FM, and webcast on the Web by World Bridges.

The programme, Global Learn Day, is now available as a podcast if anyone's interested in listening to it.

This is me cross posting a request from Charles Kelly on the NETEACH-L listserver asking for beta-testers for the podcast page on the a4esl site. It is supposed to make it easy to subscribe to rss feeds...but I can't see any explanations of the process there.

Our first podcast of the new academic year at Madrid Young Learners. My problem continues to be finding public domain files that I can use on the site, so any help you can give here would be gratefully appreciated.
I'd be interested to hear if you've had any success in setting up Loudblog as it sounds like an interesting idea. English Pod Song is very impressive.

Free hosting space for educational podcasts!

Worldbridges has just announced free hosting space (500mb) for podcasting/webcasting/videoblogging projects that comes with an offer of course management system (Moodle, Wordpress, Drupal) too.

Now is the chance to put in a proposal for a podcasting project for a centre/class/course.

But be quick, because the news is spreading and it's on a first-come-first-served basis (I've already submitted my proposal).

English Pod Song is a new project I've just started. Aimed at upper-intermediate / advanced students, the idea is to produce a weekly podcast featuring new songs and English commentary.

I thought about this after realising how difficult to listen to most 'radioshow-type' podcasts are to listen to, and I'm not sure how it will develop (if at all), but it was an interesting learning experience for me putting it together.

I've also started experimenting with the idea of students being able to leave audio comments that can be integrated into future podcasts. I'm able to do this because of the service that the Loudblog podcast content management system offers.
