On Podcasting. Again.

I’m toying with the idea of podcasting again. I’ve started the preliminary research. I’m thinking about formats, titles, music, hosting. I’ve even entertained thoughts on a co-host or co-hosts. But I can’t help but think that this endeavor will end up like the last podcasting adventure. Flat on its face after a year & only a handful of episodes.

It will be more difficult to record, because I’m not the only one in the house anymore. I still have my old condenser mic, I could plug it into my MacBook Air & record that way, but I think that’s too cumbersome. Is it worth it to get a recording device that can stand on its own, like the Zoom H1 that’s coming out in just a few days? I can use it for other things besides podcasting, obviously, but it would be its primary function. More portable, by a long shot, easier to just fire up & record things as necessary.

I guess I need to keep thinking about it. If I decide to head into this deal, I do plan on doing things differently from last time. I never banked up recorded episodes, which is a huge no-no. I never thought about what I was talking about, I just ended up rambling about things, never thinking about whether someone was even interested in listening to me yammer or not.

I’ll make a decision in a few months, after I’ve had some more time to think, and plot, and save funds. Something may have to be cut from my schedule, too, but I’m not quite sure yet. I may be able to sneak recording in around other things I’m doing. We’ll see.
