06/19/2012 A New Podcast Implementation on the Way? The implementation of podcasts in iOS has traditionally seemed like an afterthought. In order to find a podcast, you had to jump over to iTunes, find the episode you wanted, download it, and then hop back over to the music app to play it, in the same fashion as you would a playlist. Apple provided no options to automatically download episodes, subscribe to certain shows, or sync podcasts across devices. With iOS 6, this could all change. If the rumors turn out to be true, Apple will soon be launching a dedicated podcast app along with iOS 6, which is expected to be released in fall. Unfortunately, it appears that OS X users will still have to interact with iTunes in order to manage podcasts. complete article

06/15/2012 Make a Connection MAKE DISTINCTIVE CONTENT THAT SUSTAINS A PERSONAL CONNECTION There is something that feels direct and personal about listening to someone talk--perhaps because we associate it with telephone conversations. Radio is a very personal medium, and podcasts are even more so because people are choosing them in a way that they do not choose things on the radio. With talk radio, you have about five or so choices at any given time; with podcasts, you have literally tens of thousands, so it is something the listener made an affirmative choice to listen to, rather than just something that happened to be on the radio. A podcast has to be something that can sustain that level of connection. complete article

06/14/2012 Podcasting Borders If you are a podcaster and American, I am sure you have never considered launching a podcast in a different language. Am I right? Why on earth would you do that? Why make a decision to bring yourself out of your comfort zone of speaking your mother tongue? Why would you speak a language in your podcast that your own fellow countrymen are not familiar with? complete article

06/13/2012 How to Use Video to Grow Your Business PreneurCast Podcast Shows You How to Use Video to Grow Your Business Videos are able to achieve what written words cannot. They are oftentimes more effective in capturing the attention of a viewer since all that the latter has to do is sit back and watch a story unfold.

06/12/2012 Charting Podcasts On Tuesday Stitcher Radio announced the Stitcher List which is something like the Billboard Hot 100 for podcasts.
