Thoughts and readings in advance of my next Podcast

I'm planning to get Podcasting Reflections #2 podcast out for Friday, 27th January. In the show, I'll be talking about...the mic and voice recorder that I've gone for; the work of Ewan McIntosh, who inspires teachers is Scotland to blog, podcast and use wikis; del.ic.ious and technorati; how the planning of my 'independent living' show is going; educational podcasts suitable for the classroom; and feedback on the show and the pleas that I made last time. What I've done over the last week: Downloaded Audacity 1.2.4 (not beta 1.3 - unstable) as my multitrack software. Submitted Podcasting Reflections #1 to directories such as Juice (iPodder), Podcast Alley, Podcasting News, Podcast.net. Messed around with the HTML (I know nothing about this, except for Michael Geoghegan's great introduction. This has enabled me to link my public photos on Flickr to Booruch. Looked at buying cool domain names which I would point at the projects Podcast blog (GoDaddy.com?). Adjusted iTunes settings - uploading a picture for my podcast, being precise with tagging. Checked over what a Creative Commons Licence is. Listened to a Wiki discussion at EdTechTalk.com. Listened to excellent podcasts at Escapepod.org and Historypodcast.blogspot.com. Found out how useful ID3 tags are for getting your show 'picked up'. Checked out hardware at www.bswusa.com/podcastsolutions. Purchased a lapel mic from giant-squid-audio-lab.com. Bid for a Flash Player with line-in facility. Set a school-wide Art competition to design a piece of artwork (logo) for the series of 'independent living' podcasts which I will start recording next month. Linked two of my blogs to feedburner (I think) - at http://feeds.feedburner.com/booruch and http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/xXCr. Found out that the sample and bit rates for talk should be 22.050 kHz/64kbps ie half that for music podcasts. Found out that audio files should be saved as [initials + date] to make things easier for those who download your show. In the future, I will give out my Skype and email details during the show to encourage feedback and responses. You can reach more listeners by sending a promo to openpodcast.org, or swop promos with fellow podcasters and their shows.
