Lots of sites across the web comment on the fact.<br>\nThe Serial podcast in autumn 2014 broke through to main stream media, for a while you could hardy open a newspaper without reading something about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read a piece in the New York Magazine that pointed to some reasons of the increased popularity.<br>\nThe first is that today&#8217;s podcasts are simply better. Most podcasts used to be pretty amateurish \u2014 two people talking about sports for an hour, say, or a businessman ad libbing MBA lessons. And some still are. But today&#8217;s top podcasts are full-scale productions with real staff, budget, and industry expertise behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Producing an average podcast costs far less than producing a TV show or a radio show (all you really need is a microphone or two, a copy of Audacity or some other editing software, and a cheap hosting service for the audio files themselves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advertising which this new bread of podcast is attracting and people being equipped to listen on the move are also factors that the New Your Magazine pointed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally I am still firmly in the amateur camp when podcasting, but I believe I am in good company, Dave Winer inventor the of the podcasting model who added enclosures to RSS, agrees here he is from a recent podcast, talking about podcasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10 years ago I started podcasting with my class I found it a wonderful experience. I still struggle to understand why it is not a more popular activity for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasting can fulfil many literacy experiences &amp; outcomes while fitting in with any curriculum area. Podcasting provides opportunities for collaboration and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning there were quite a few technical barriers to podcasting but there are now largely overcome. There are even podcasting studios that run on a mobile phone. All you really need to create a podcast is a way of recording audio files and a blog. If you use Glow Glow Blogs are a great podcasting platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new Glow Blogs system we would be delighted to see a growth in podcasting and I&#8217;d be more than happy to provide any help and advice I could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/serialpodcast.org\/\">Serial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/intelligencer\/2014\/10\/whats-behind-the-great-podcast-renaissance.html\">What\u2019s Behind the Great Podcast Renaissance? &#8212; NYMag<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some thoughts about podcasting, its increasing popularity and use in the classroom. 3 minutes 42 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"audio","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28607],"tags":[3358],"class_list":["post-79","post","type-post","status-publish","format-audio","hentry","category-episode","tag-podcasting","post_format-post-format-audio"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":168,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions\/168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/glowblogs\/Glowcast\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
