I "went" to Greg Schwartz's presentation at the SirsiDynix Institute, yesterday--A Beginner's Guide to Podcasting: Part 1 - A Consumer's Guide.
Part 2 (A Creator's Guide) will probably be of more use to me since I've been consuming podcasts for awhile. But I wanted to get the full picture.
I don't think I've written about podcasts since I got my MP3 player a few months ago. I definitely "get it" better now that I've experienced it. I've yet to pay for any content for my MP3 player. I listen to podcasts and individually downloaded MP3 files.
Greg mentioned the "one minute to one minute" caveat during his talk--and said that you have to be very selective. I listen to my player only when I'm walking or working out. Even on a good day, that's not more than ninety minutes and, most days, it's much less. So, I deal with this problem by subscribing to only a few feeds--then I occasionally augment them with individual programs.
I'm using Juice for my feed reader. Here's what I'm currently subscribed to:
I look like an idiot when I'm listening to that last one--walking around campus laughing out loud at jokes that only I can hear. But I sometimes walk longer than I planned because I'm having such fun.
For now, I've been using my del.icio.us radio tag to hold the links to shows that I will sometimes load episodes that are of interest. But Greg showed us how podcast feeds looked in My Yahoo! and I liked that, so I may put them in there so that I'm a bit more systematic about reviewing those feeds for interesting episodes.
