If you might be in or around the Glasgow area next Wednesday, I hope you’ll join us at the Electron Club for a free podcasting workshop:
PODCASTING WORKSHOP
presented by John Harris and Michelle Kasprzak
at the Electron Club, Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA), 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow
Wednesday 10th January 2007, starting at 7.00 pm
admission free – no booking required
A hands-on introduction to creating and publishing your own podcasts. Podcasting is a system for distributing audio content over the internet. This workshop will take people through the process of creating and formatting audio for podcasts using the Free Software tool Audacity, putting your podcast online, and publicising it through RSS feeds. It is presented by two practitioners experienced with podcasting and online distribution, John Harris and Michelle Kasprzak, who will be happy to answer questions, explain the jargon and discuss issues of copyright, copyleft and ‘open content’ publishing.
Equipment and software for producing your podcasts will be provided in
the workshop, but please bring your own headphones! If you have a laptop and would like to have the software used in the workshop installed on it, or just prefer working on your own computer, bring it along – network access will be available to all.
