It has been a bitter cold day today. Outside temperature hovering around 4 degrees, and about the same in the office as the heating for the entire site is being replaced, and, due to overruns won't be switched on until mid to late November. We've been sitting in coats, bobble hats and scarves to keep warm. The other way I'm trying to keep warm is reading around the world of podcasts. I've listened to many, and made a few podcasts over the last five years or so. This year however the BBC has rushed into this decade old way of broadcasting with a vengeance, with in the unique way the BBC operates, an internal site the called 'Podcastology'. Pages and pages to read, though oddly only a few quite short podcast instructions. Very interesting but at the end of the day, it can be all be summed up as content. A podcast is simply a piece of audio content, broadcast over the internet. In the same way as radio audio content is broadcast over the wireless. Different delivery, same skills needed to make this happen. I thought about this as I sorted through the microphones in the kit store, still trying to keep warm.
