  3. Sorry about tha bad sound quality in the comment I left– my fault, not yours. No amount of editing skill would have helped that.
    Got a new earpiece for the car and it doesn’t sound so hot. I’ll use the old one going forward so y’all can understand me.

  5. Although I haven’t listened to the Podcast (will likely tonight), I do have a question: Why do you give your podcast blog posts the titles you do? I mean besides the obvious of explaining which episode this is, these titles don’t seem to be optimized for search engines or focused on *the content* of the podcast itself. In other words, I feel this format for titles doesn’t really drag in my attention at all.
    Is there a really good reason to use this format? Am I missing something? I ask because I’m considering joining in the podcasting fun (no where near decided yet).
    Thanks!

  6. Nice flurry of comments – thanks all.
    Mario – I use those titles because that is the way the show shows up in iTunes (and on your digital media player). If I spell the full title of the Podcast and make it too keyword rich, it’s impossible to sort through via iTunes or on your player.
    Trust me, I would love to do what I do in my regular post titles for my Podcast, but I’m limited by those who want to be able to see – at a quick glance – which show is which (which I understand).

  7. Regarding the question about why podcasts tend to follow radio-show models, I would suggest that radio has had decades to figure out which show formats work for an audio-only medium.
    Probably the biggest differences between independent podcasts and radio are the niche subjects you can find on podcasts but not on radio, and the flexibility with regard to length and frequency of shows. And I think podcasting is more intimate and has more of a one-to-one feel to it.
    It’s difficult for me to imagine an effective podcast show format that didn’t resemble a radio format at all, given the enormous range of radio show formats there have been over the years, particularly when one takes into account college radio stations and local listener-supported stations which have a lot of non-mainstream programming.
    So I’d like to know whether the person who originally asked the question had any differences in mind, and how she thought they would make podcasts better.
