Hey everyone! So, here is my podcast. It's about my opinions of some of the commercials from the Super Bowl.




I used Audacity as my recording device. The directions posted in the module made downloading this very easy, as did the tutorial. Even though I had fun playing around with all the options to speed up or slow down the recording, as well as add sounds I decided to keep my podcast simple and did not use any background music or sound effects this time.

Audacity was simple to use, but I do have to say I was a little disappointed when I realized I could not post from it directly to blogger. But, that is okay because I figured out how to do it a different way by uploading the saved MP3 player to a program and then copying it to blogger. It took me a while to find a program I liked, but I finally did when I found this video on YouTube



Or, here's the link if you'd prefer that:

In it he goes step-by-step on the program to use (Divshare) and how to do it. It is very simple! I wish I had found this program first because all of the other ones I found, while they were simple, they would not provide an embedded audio player, but rather just a link that took the clicker to that homepage in order to play the file. So, I am very happy with Divshare since it did exactly what I wanted!

Again, the video link above will give excellent directions on how to get your podcast to your blogpage.

I hope you enjoy my first-ever podcast!

  5. I thought that the commercials were not as funny this year as past years. I loved the Doritos commercial with the little boy! The one with the dog….the dog was wearing a bark collar that is why the guy tried to get the dog to “speak.” I like that you picked a random topic to talk about!

  6. You did such a good job on this! It was kind of funny because I babysat all day yesterday and that was pretty much the last chance I had to make final corrections to it and record it, so as I was recording my podcast I kept begging the kids to be quiet and I rewarded them with candy afterwards :) Anyways, very nice topic! I was so upsest by the game, but I did enjoy some of the commercials! Again, great job!
