2 Podcasting: Techniques & Technologies of Digital Distribution
Saturday September 9th
9.30am to 1pm
Fee: $35

The New Oxford American Dictionary declared "podcast" the 2005 Word of the Year. This is an indication of the rapid growth of this new technique to distribute and syndicate digital audio and video files to a global audience.

ABC Radio National is an Australian pioneer of podcasting, and in February 2006 they were averaging 175,000 downloads of their programs every week.

Since Apple launched their video iPod device in October 2005, video podcasting has been on the increase with popular podcasts, such as US-based Rocketboom, achieving up to 200,000 downloads per day. With many popular podcasts now including paid advertising, podcasting is emerging as a way for content producers to find new revenue streams or to increase their global visibility.

This event is an overview of the history of podcasting, and explores how it is now a significant channel for digital content distribution.

Through lectures and demonstrations participants will learn what software and hardware is required to make video and audio podcasts. Keren will cover a range of tips and techniques on how to make them an effective distribution tool, and to ensure your podcasts reach their target audience.
