(Notes from Training Tech Solutions Conference & Expo 2007)

Podcasting

• Don’t need a mp3 or cell phone to access. Can be accessed through a browser.

Best Practice

• 15 minutes is the ideal time, although 2-50 minutes have been done.
• Build a portal (like itunes) or deliver via RSS.
• Let people produce their own podcasts.
• Talk radio style with music, 2 people, and spoof commercials. Keep it short, and fast moving.
