I’ve wanted to create a podcast for a long time, but the effort involved just seemed like too much. So using my own website, I thought I’d see what I could come up with in under an hour in terms of creation and posting. Here’s the first “episode” of my microcast which I’ve conceived of, created, and posted in under an hour with equipment I happen to have on hand:

I haven’t listened to the podcast yet but I wanted to leave a comment. For a long time now I’ve also wanted to do a podcast, for the experience and just because. But … quite frankly I’m afraid. Afraid the audio quality will suck. Afraid that the content will suck. Afraid to look like an idiot online.
I’m encouraged to see Chris do this.
Hi Chris,
I enjoyed your podcast, via huffduffer ;-). It is nice to hear the voice of someone who I’ve been reading, there is a lot of subtle information in a voice.
Inspired by John Johnston and Chris Aldrich, here is my first attempt at a Microcast. A short reflection on social media.

I like the idea of a ‘slow chat’, but you need to start somewhere …

I loved the depth of reflection that you provide Chris, connecting it with the past and considering all the different elements. I think that I need to give the idea some more consideration. I opened up Voxer and recorded a short note while cooking tea. Forgot all the contextual elements. Had to finish it as the hamburgers needed flipping.
David Shanske has kindly improved the Post Kinds plugin (v2.7.6) to include audio posts out of the box.
This reminds me I need to get back to making my microcast so that I’ve got more than just the one episode.
