Podcasting News is a great resource for all the latest news in podland. It recently talked about britcaster.com, a united site for British podcasters:
A new podcasting site, BritCaster, is calling itself “the hub of UK podcasting”. The site features non-commercial UK podcasts, and all Britcaster podcasts are available via an aggregated feed.
Maybe the podirish site should become the home for Irish podcasters to sign-up, post and upload their podcasts.
Sell yourself over the phone, the company gets daily podcasts that the recruitment team listen to ‘on the move’ and decide which people deserve an interview.
The only problem is the amount of domains relating to this which have been purchased.
jobcast.com, jobcasting.com, podjob(s).com to mention just a few.
Garageband has just added Podcast support. The area is called GarageBand Podcast Studio which is now the world’s largest selection of podcast ready music.
This is a very useful tool as every artist on the site now has a free podcast, where listeners can receive new songs (and other audio messages), gig listings, and news posted by the artists.
Jenna Drey is one such artist who is now playing on my iPod after I easily downloaded her songs all at once.
It’s strange for me to have a new podcasting item that is my very own. Usually it’s a post about podnova, new podcasts or new podblogs.
Podish involves Irish people embracing podcasting without having to pay to upload their items, all they need is their mobile phone. The mobile allows people to easily record an item/issue in the news that they want to express their opinion on, or maybe be adventurous and interview somebody or do a sound seeing tour of their town area. The possibilities are endless.
Podish is an open forum where you can speak your mind about any issue. All you need to do is grab your mobile phone… speak your mind and send it as a MMS to podish@gmail.com.
Updated: Podato won’t be in this weeks Village Magazine due to pressure of space.
Should of being podsong.com. This podcast features Irish folk music, Scottish songs and American folk music along with the latest folk news.
I want to keep the folk music tradition alive and preserve folk music with this podcast. The music featured is a variety of traditional folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, and occasional American folk songs and original songs, plus, commentaries and news occasional news.
Interesting idea but as of yet has no RSS feed.
Podish begins today.
What is it?
A website for Irish people to contribute to by sharing their views on any number of topics which interest/effect them.
Just to pick up on what James has said about Podato, the idea may be totally amazing concept but it’s an open source idea, we use free tools for the whole process, wordpress, blogsome, gmail, amr to wav converter and finally a wav to MP3 converter for the full podcasting experience.
I was recently pointed to the Guardians Soulmates website and informed that they have added the option for singles to record a voice clip for people to listen to them as they read through their profile. This is a great addition, but doesn’t include any RSS feeds.
The problem with these and other sites is in the cost. They may say:
Becoming a member is quick, easy and free.
But what they really mean is “Sign-up, fill out 5 pages of a profile as detailed as possible, receive email confirmation, log-in and realise you need to pay-up to send anyone a message… rates start at nearly £17 for just one month, a year costs a massive £95 pounds, the Irish sites aren’t much better value.
Podato is free and will remain so, why pay to meet someone (that’s illegal in the real world). Just give ‘Podato A Go’ and see where you can go from there… for free.

Today I decided to sign-up for Apple Store Associate Program, just to add some ads to the site (what site is complete without them) and not to make money. I spent 15 minutes filling out my details and was waiting for confimation which I just received. I was turned down for one of these reasons.
Presence of Apple competitors on your Web site.
Fit of Apple’s messaging and branding with your Web site.
A well-defined Privacy Policy on your Web site.
Maybe it’s because of the Sony Minidiscs in the image above or the Nokia Mobile or because I don’t have an iMac?
Podfeed.net is a great resource on the web for all things podcast. Whether it’s learning about podcasts, finding podcasts that interest you, reading user reviews, or interacting with other members of the podcasting community, podfeed.net is for you.
Podnova is a web based application which builds on RSS and OPML.
PodNova is an initiative from Active8. The company which was at the birth of iSpider (now known as iPodder lemon). We have tried to solve the following problems.
Podcast client and Web audio spidering in one.
Podcast: Subscribe to and download all your favorite podcasts into YME. Listen to them in YME, or transfer them to your favorite device.
PLUS: Enter any URL, and “slurp” all the audio files from the page. Additionally, you can spider into the links (up to any depth!) and slurp all the audio files from those sites as well. Beware…you will have the ability to suck down content from an entire website or network of linked websites :)
Bonus feature: Drag-n-drop a URL from Internet Explorer onto the PodcastPLUS plugin entry to auto-slurp it!
Support the Irish grab the feeds and listen to them on your mobile device.
04/05 has been a massive year for blogging in Ireland more so than any other year what with the launch of Planet of the Blogs, Irish Blogs and the free wordpress blogs over at blogsome and Irish blogs… not to mention the Irish blogs group over at Yahoo!
This blog began back in November which seems a really long time ago, in this time many Irish people (around 6) have gone about producing a podcast. Many people have e-mailed with some amazing ideas, future ideas and also people wondering how they can turn their radio stations into podcasts.
Now I see a chance of creating a weekly podcast of recordings, clips about all sorts of topics week, all placed together, edited and uploaded. It’s really easy to record items (mobile phone, minidisc or via computer). I have 100 MB of webspace over at eircom.net, so that could host between 7-14 shows (depending on the length). Once it reaches its max capacity I can upload them to gmail for archive purposes.
| Gathering Random thoughts, blog posts or your interests. |
Recording Via minidisc, mobile or computer. |
Podcasting Uploaded once a week. |
I have numerous ideas floating around the web at the minute. One which I am set on is the idea of iPodcast (Irish Podcast), getting Irish bloggers/people to submit content each week for inclusion in a group podcast, I have just done up a quick mock-up of the process and have set up the page from where iPodcast #1 will be discussed.
http://irishpodcast.backpackit.com/
I am waiting on confirmation from ourproject.org to use their website as a place where we can have a group discussion. But for the time being we can use this location.
