Because you can observe a lot just by watching.
My mp3 player has 1GB of space, my backup mp3 player has 128MB of space. I have never downloaded a song to either of them. Instead I listen to lots of podcasts.
I finished my regular list of podcasts (I’ll post a list later) early this week so I am looking for more to enjoy.
I found the TechPodcasts.com Directory to help me do some filling.
The Open Source Ministry Forum has a forum about blogging already, and we do count Podcasts in that, but I don’t want to monopolize it with my comments on podcasting so I will do it here. That is “My Prorogative” or something.
I carry an mp3 player around with me most of the time, but I have not yet downloaded any songs. It typically has about 300MB of talk content from podcasts I listen to. I am constantly listening to educational and entertaining content, it really is an addiction. It is almost like being able to plug my ears into the Internet even when I am not near my computer.
At the same time I have been doing some podcasting of my own. I am using Loudblog for sermons and other audio and video content produced at the church. We also plan on adding a podcast aimed at the youth in our church and our community.
Due to these situations I find myself thinking about podcasting a lot and hopefully my thoughts and the issues we deal with will help other ministries interested in podcasting get their programs running.
