Michael Kreidler and I (Jim Coyle) enjoyed our workshop on Podcasting at the Catholic Media Convocation in Nashville today. We appreciate the interest, questions and comments. Here are some links related to the workshop:
A new resource about podcasting legal issues is the new Podcasting Legal Guide from Creative Commons. It's free online and has valuable information for podcasters.
Libsyn is the podcast hosting company we used: libsyn.com
Although we didn't talk about it to the whole group, a free Internet phone service is Skype used by many podcasters. You can use Skype to talk with other Internet users and/or call regular telephones in the U.S. and Canada for no charge through the end of the year. Pamela Systems is one of the sites that has several "plug-ins" that record Skype calls.
Be sure to check out the sites in the brochure we distributed today for more information about podcasting equipment, podcast directories, and more.
Here's a site with information about marketing your podcasts. We're sorry we ran out of time on this essential topic.
Please join us on the Disciples with Microphones Forum to join the discussion with many other folks interested in Catholic Podcasting.
Finally, we invite you to e-mail us if you have questions - or want to tell us about your progress in podcasting.

This is a must read for all podcasters! From the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
"Want to use music in your podcast, but don't know whether or how to clear the copyright? What sort of permissions do you need before using an interview in your podcast? Want to allow people to redistribute your podcast freely? Creative Commons' new Podcasting Legal Guide has answers to these and many more questions. Like EFF's Legal Guide for Bloggers, this handbook breaks down thorny legal issues in clear, easy-to-understand terms."

In late April, Carlos Briceno, co-founder of Disciples with Microphones (www.discipleswithmicrophones.org) will be giving a talk about Podcasting at a Catholic communications conference in Rome. Here's what Carlos shares about his upcoming talk:
PODCASTING: A NEW MEDIUM FOR THE NEW EVANGELIZATION
A new medium, called podcasting, has emerged at the beginning of the 21st Century that allows the Gospel message to be proclaimed from the rooftops, just as Christ commanded in the Gospel of Matthew: “What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” I will address why Church communicators need to utilize this medium as part of the New Evangelization. Here are several points that I will raise:
* Podcasts – which are MP3 files that can be downloaded via the internet or onto portable devices, such as iPods – are inexpensive to produce and free to listen to.
* They have the potential to reach a wide audience, including anyone from across the world and especially young people, many of whom who get their information from new technologies.
* They allow listeners to listen to any show at their leisure: for instance, at their desk or while walking the dog.
* They allow for places that do not have Catholic radio stations to broadcast audio anyway.
* And they can turn any communication director, print journalist, lay person or priest into an instant broadcaster, including those who do not have a radio background. No elaborate studio is necessary, just a recorder, a microphone and a computer.
In my presentation, I will explain how simple it is to record and edit sound files, and I will show some equipment needed for podcasting. I will also play several audio files to illustrate the ways the Church can use compelling podcasts to evangelize, catechize, and inspire others about the Good News. From priests’ homilies to parish mission talks, from a bishop making a stewardship appeal to brief conversion stories, podcasts provide dioceses and parishes a creative and imaginative communications tool. Podcasts also humanize the Church; for instance, some shows may contain the voices of people you sit next to in the pews, whom you do not know, but whose stories of faith and encounters with Christ need to be proclaimed to encourage others on their paths to holiness.
In conclusion, I will show how podcasting the week-to-week stories and events of the Church will transform a parish or diocesan web site from being just a bulletin board of information to becoming a lively audio destination for those hungering for the Truth.
