Podcasting For Idiots

I’ve been interested in the inner workings of podcasting for some time, though I still haven’t actually got round to doing anything about it!
In any case yesterday’s BarCamp featured some really interesting people talking about cool stuff (not all of it was that geeky!).
The first session that I made it into was given by two podcasters that I truly respect, Bernie Goldbach and Conn Ó Muíneacháin.
Conn has been podcasting as gaeilge (the Irish language) for some time, while Bernie not only podcasts regularly, but has a wealth of experience in teaching other people to do it.
The talk was a combination of talk with slides and practical workshop. Bernie kicked off by explaining what he was going to do ie. put together a podcast in about 20 minutes or so and then Conn gave us a load of really useful tips on getting started.
What was fantastic about the talk was that they made it all seem so accessible and easy, so even my non-technical companion at the talk was able to follow the entire process with ease (at least I think she did!).
Hopefully Conn’s slides will be available soon, though I know he’s having issues with his broadband
