Shortly after PAB 07 I was approached by the lovely and amazingly talented Sage Tyrtle to be a guest on the Quirky Quiz, part of her wildly popular Quirky Nomads Podcast. I am not kidding when I say this was the single most exciting thing to happen to me since I got into podcasting. Sage has a fantastic show and the Quirky Quiz is a blast to listen to. Oh and to make it even better, I was on with Lord Blevis and Shelly. (Yes, just like Cher, and Bob, Shelly only needs one name.) I have a bit of social anxiety when it comes to things like Skype, and especially group chats but I pulled out my big boy microphone and jumped in. I’m glad I did because it was a lot of fun and the end result sounds pretty good. (Full disclosure, I haven’t listened as of this writing but I have heard from a reliable source that it’s great.)

Thanx Sage for the honor of joining you, Shelly and Mark. I had a blast.

Podcasting is pretty simple. You create a audio or video file, host it on the internet and use a piece of code call an RSS feed to point to it so that a Podcatcher like itunes can find it and automatically download it.

On November 3 you can find out just how easy it is and why you should be Podcasting. Chinook Learning Service is offering a “Spectacular Saturday” class called “Podcasting Made Easy“. The class will cover everything you need to know to start feeding your creative works to the world. From recording to hosting to blogging and RSS as well as dealing with aggregators like itunes and directories like Canada Podcasts and podCALGARY.

The two best things about this are, 1) it’s taught by me, Daryl Cognito and 2) it’s only 69 bucks.

So have you ever thought of creating a podcast?
