Recorded my first podcast using Evoca with both the computer mic and my cellphone. The cellphone podcast was one of the coolest techie things I’ve ever done. What a perfect use of two pieces of technology! Obviously, this is just the first step, and as the course material says, it’s secondary to the quality and the production values of the content, not to mention organizing it and assessing it.
Here it is. I think I need to speak up next time. Hope you can hear it.
It’s a start. I liked the list of “uses” on the Evoca website. Of course, now I can’t find it. So why am I writing about it? Who knows! Maybe you’ll be able to find it.
Anyway, it inspired some ideas related to my newspaper class and the blog we’re hoping to start. Audio segments of interviews, interviews with athletes before or after games and actors before or after performances. Man on the street interviews and roundtable discussions (“OK, I’m sitting here with x, y, and j at lunch and we’re talking about school uniforms…”) Obviously there could be problems with people not wanting to be recorded, or wanting some control over editing, but my guess is many would be very interested. Goofballs might come out of the woodwork, but we might also get people really excited to hear the voices and sounds of Lovett life. And to be able to use the cellphone!!! Awesome.
