Career Building Through Podcasting
Podcast are digitally-recorded audio files (radio shows, concerts, lectures, readings, discussions, etc.) distributed over the Internet and played back using MP3 players or personal computers. The same technology can be used to create video podcasts, known as vidcasts or vodcasts. A wide range of career opportunities are emerging in this new technology--sound engineer, information technology specialist, podcast provider and distributor, podcast licenser, talent agent, storage manager, etc. Podcasting is breathing new life into the old forms of broadcasting and creating new, exciting ways to record, produce, deliver, preserve, and enjoy media content. Few fields are still so wide open to possibility, and this book explores the possibilities and almost limitless opportunities.
