Free Podcast Hosting

June 20, 2005

The problem most people encounter after learning about podcasting is where they can go to upload their podcasts. The most popular podhosts are libsyn, slapcast, podlot and podbus. This may be a little off putting to people who just want to give it a try. Just recently PodBlaze launched and offers the following items:

Personalized podcasting site
Subdomain (www.yourpodcast.podblaze.com)
Podcast upload capability
RSS feed
Show notes area for each podcast show
No special software or programming skills required
Streaming media player

Educational Podcasts

Coventry University is to follow in the footsteps of Tipperary Institute by recording class sessions for students to listen or re-listen depending if they went to class. Movie clips will also be distributed over 3G phones. Harold Fricker and Eduardo Carrillo came up with the idea and are quoted as saying -

We are not kidding ourselves — there will always be lazy students who prefer to stay in bed or let their minds wander during the seminars. This technology provides a safety net.

The orginal idea came from Bernie Goldbach and has served many students greatly on the run up to exams.
