I\u2019ve long wanted to become a more regular consumer of podcasts. But more than that, I\u2019ve wanted to start making my own podcasts. Every time I\u2019ve done a guest appearance on one, I\u2019ve enjoyed it immensely. I also enjoy listening to those that others have created. And so I finally took the plunge now that Butler University has its very own sound booth<\/a> optimized for this purpose! I am honored to have been given the chance to try it out ahead of its general launch, and to have had the privilege of interviewing the director of our Center for Academic Technology, Tom Janke, on this podcast with a very meta theme:\u00a0podcasting<\/em>!<\/p>\n

I am going to try out a few different options for distributing the podcast content. Anchor seems like a particularly good free service for podcast hosting:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But since I already have a SoundCloud account, I\u2019m going to try sharing it there as well:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/492070272&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Please do let me know if you have a strong preference for one or the other platforms. I think that Anchor disseminates the podcast to the Apple podcast app and other such services. And I\u2019m going to find out very soon whether the SoundCloud limit on space is a monthly one or total \u2013 if the latter, then I\u2019ll either be out of space very soon, or will need to be convinced that their paid service is worthwhile for my needs and purposes. And so once again, your input is going to be crucial in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>I am also open to sharing the podcast through other means. The university repository here at Butler might work. But there\u2019s also YouTube as an option. The latter, however, really doesn\u2019t seem a good fit for those who want to listen on their phone on the go.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, please listen to the podcast, forgive my initial hesitation and nervousness right at the beginning (this was entirely unscripted and done in a single take), and assuming you want me to continue podcasting, please let me know where and how you\u2019re most interested in being given access to future episodes.
