Leveraging Your Knowledge as a Successful Podcasting Consultant
My session from the Portable Media Expo 2006 (renamed for 2007 to New Media Expo), "Leveraging Your Knowledge as a Successful Podcasting Consultant" is up now over at GigVox.
So if you want to hear about the fun stuff I was doing in 2006 and the state of podcast consulting and production head on over.
This is what Mark had to say about my session:
"Kris . . . gave the most honest, non sales pitch presentation on podcast consulting. He shared real world numbers, which is rare in this day and age. More power to you."Mark is a good guy and I didn't even have to pay him or beg for the review last year. Maybe this year ;-).

Web design for podcasting matters
You can hear my web design and RSS nerd out from my session at Podcast Academy 4 last September on "Successful Web Design for Podcasting". During the session I explain why good web design can help you find new listeners and create loyalty among your listener/viewer base.
We talk about ease of use (UI), adding the ability to play media within the website without having to download, RSS and some quick SEO tips that will get you noticed by the big search engines (key when trying to gain market share in your niche).
Thanks to GigaVox team for putting on the Podcast Academy series and letting me be a part of it, they are a great time.

Podcast Academy 5 at Duke University

I'll be speaking with a cast of great characters including Tim Bourquin, Greg Cangialosi, Noah Bonnett and Michael Geoghegan at Podcast Academy 5 Feb 14-15, 2007 sponsored by GigaVox Media.
This time it is being held at Duke University . . . so any east coasters interested in academic podcasting, podcasting production or the technical side of podcasting should come out to the event. So don't think that if you haven't defended a thesis you're not welcome. Like I said, I'll be there.
Feel free to read the schedule for more information.
My presentation will be on authenticated and personalized RSS feeds. 'Authenticated' meaning password protected feeds and what they are good for and 'personalized' meaning that the content delivered through the feeds is specific to the individual receiver. I'll also dabble a bit in the importance of being able to track individual RSS usage.
And since this is being held at an academic institution a portion of my presentation will come from my work with JCAHO delivering professional development (sort of academic) with RSS as piece of a low-threshold Learning Managment System (LMS).

It's time for the Levelator
It's time to make my way into this conversation. I should probably introduce myself also.
I'm Kris Smith. I am a podcaster and Founder/CEO of Palegroove Studios a podcast production company. I've been podcasting for nearly two years with over 400 total podcast episodes under my belt and a great list of clients.
In an effort to keep it short and get on with this conversation I will stop talking about myself and mention a new audio production tool called Levelator and comes from GigaVox Media.
Levelator was announced two weeks ago at Podcast Academy 4 in Ontario, CA by GigaVox. Those in attendance were given a quick demo of the software and then asked to test it out ourselves. I loved and love it.
I'm not going to get audio nerdy about this and try to describe why it works better than other audio normalization tools and plug-ins currently available. And it isn't just simply an audio normalization tool. I'll simply say it will save you time.
I care so much about this application for one reason: it was designed by podcasters. As podcasting matures many of us have started to develop our own tools to do the jobs that we need done because many of the pre-existing ones either don't work for what we need them to do or they take too much time to use.
Levelator is on a short list of applications that are podcaster-centric but as we move forward I expect that list to get longer as other podcasters hit the wall and need their software to perform in ways that no one has imagined yet.
The Levelator runs on Win 2k, XP , Vista and Mac OS X 10.4.
I'll be back around later to check on this conversation . . . right now I need to refill this red Solo cup.
