Does anyone podcast

[UmmSamiyah]

hello,
i wanted to start a podcast showcasing my poetry and stuff. does anyone else do this? kinds seems like a fun hobby.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and thought it would also be fun. I haven't the slightest idea how one would start. What's your plan if you dont mind me asking? Will it be an audio or video podcast?

I want to start off by reading my poetry. Kind of like my life in poetry, I have saved everything since I was about 8. And then move into a story I am developing. so I think it would just be an audio podcast. I can't think of any interesting images. I don't have too much of a plan after that, maybe gain an audience and start another series of like a natural living podcast focusing on women's or children's health. I think it would be fun. I posted some videos on youtube and quickly gained a small following, it was fun.

I don't but podcast but I LOVE to listen to them. Not only the NPR ones but a bunch of knitting ones (fave: stashandburn) and one with two friends, both working moms, with two kids each (manicmommies). This one has quite the following - they now have annual gatherings. Last year the manicmommies took a cruise together and this fall they are meeting in Napa, CA. They are pretty mainstream but talk about so many different issues and have great guests on too. I find my podcasts, all free, on itunes. The two I mentioned above also have their own sites where you can download from.

I wonder if I have to have a website first. every time i attempt to load a podcast it asks me for a url. of course I really don't know what that is!

I am a professor and I podcast my classes, but the system is already set up, so I just email my lectures to an IT guy. Students like it for when they can not make it to class.

so i got (or set up, I don't know the correct term) a url/website. actually there is nothing there. but I guess i am going to have to wait a day for it to "reach the whole internet" they say. I am excited because I thought of more stuff to do to make it interesting. instead of just my poetry I think I will do like natural product reviews, an interesting health tip (or something related to health.I am a nurse) and maybe telling a funny story then my poetry. that might be fun. it will give me something to research every week as well as allowing me to just talk.

ETA: Oh Yea! and like once a month put up a video podcast of a quick cooking show. but like "clean eating" meals.
I don't know, these were just things I was thinking about!!
