Top Ten List Update

For those of you who attended the ATIA 2007 Conference presentation, "Let's Podcast," you'll remember that we recorded one of David Letterman's Top Ten Lists as our audio podcast example. My hope was to post it to this blog so that everyone could enjoy.

However, when I got to thinking about it, I realized that I might be in violation of copyright by posting that content. (Of course, I didn't realize it until I had it all edited and ready to go!)

So, I apologize for not having your beautiful example of an audio podcast up here. I am including a link to the archives of Dave's Top Ten lists, if you'd still like your Top Ten fix :)

A Quick Note about the Instructional Movie Clips

I have recently discovered that my instructional clips (posted below) are not playing nicely with iTunes. You should be able to click on the links and watch them in your browser, but I need to recompress them into a different format before they'll work as podcasts to which you can subscribe.

I'll make those changes ASAP, but until them, enjoy them in your browser.

Thanks for understanding!

Let's Podcast! Presentation Handouts


Many, many thanks to those of you who came to the "Let's Podcast!" session at ATIA. I wasn't sure how many would show up for one of the last sessions of the conference, but I was blown away by the attendance.

I am posting the link to the Powerpoint handouts, in case you didn't get one at the session. You can access them by clicking here.

On a side note, I created this presentation by using PowerPoint 2007 and I love its new features! You can download a free trial at the Microsoft Office website.
