Podcasting Intro
In the last week or so I’ve been reading alot about podcasting, and wrote a bit on ESL podcasting which has a good number of comments with useful information. Over the weekend one of my RSS feeds, Help2go posted a comprehensive Podcasting Introduction with good explanations and links to other sites. If you are interested I would say this is a good starting point to learn about podcasting.
Also check out Grahams post about ESL podcasting (mini) explosion. Finally I created a new category here for all future discussions about podcasting and the eventual podcast that I will start.
