I’ve been listening to Brenda Dayne’s Cast-On podcast lately. Accidentally I ran across it on iTunes and liked it and downloaded all of the episodes to my iPhone and just turn it on whenever I am driving or knitting or spinning. She has a very soothing voice and it’s like a friend sitting across the table, sipping a cup of tea and carrying on a very casual but interesting conversation with you. I am very surprised how professional she sounds, her voice reminds me of 102.2’s Delila who plays sappy love songs and talk to people who just broke up with others or has a message for their love ones.
In the first few episodes, she talks about the software she uses, sometimes complains about it, and the pod safe music she plays is very good too. I don’t know if I could find all those good songs if I were picking. There are so many of them in so many categories, how ‘do’ you find those that would interest you.
But all this talk got me interested in trying to make my own podcast just to see how it’s done. I don’t think I want to do a ‘podcast’, maybe just one recording to play with the software, insert some music, see how to put plain talking and music together. And if I like it, I can make more. So I downloaded Propaganda and installed it. Played its tutorial. Now I need to plan the outline and see what music I can find. It’s going to be a fun process, I hope. And I’ll try to document it.
