Last week I had a chance to do a little podcast experiment with Skype. It came about as a result of an EdTec class I’m teaching where I interviewed a guest blogger — fellow ed-tech’er, Andy Petroski from Harrisburg U. Although Mac software like GarageBand makes it pretty easy to produce a podcast if you’re the only person involved, it gets a little more involved if you want to tie it to an interview that you run through VOIP (e.g., Skype).

Fortunately, I came across an excellent resource from the New Media Center at Mary Washington University. It saves you all the tech details and breaks it down to the most essential tools: Soundflower and LineIn – both of which are free.

A relatively new journal, International Journal of Mobile Technologies, looks quite interesting. From the current issue, there’s one article on podcasting that really catches my eye (The Role of Podcasts in Students’ Learning).
