Lauren,
You are welcome to try our free RSS podcast maker called FeedMe at:
http://bit.ly/rss-feedme It offers password protected accounts, unlimited
bandwidth, episodes and RSS feeds. Everyone that works on FeedMe is a
volunteer so it is always free. We also worked with Creative Commons so you
can embed CC licensing or Copyright in the media files
http://creativecommons.org/tag/museumpods About 2000 organizations have
signed up to use FeedMe ranging from radio stations, museums, educational
institutions, and businesses -- but we designed it specifically for museums.
We are starting to work with museums to develop more user friendly ways for
people to access podcasts using QR code. Here is a short video on how it
works: http://bit.ly/museum-qr FeedMe works well with this technology and
might be something you should consider implementing in your podcast
initiative.
Please feel free to contact me directly...I will hook you up.

Hi Lauren,
As far as creating audio and video podcasts with simple (very) and cheap
technology, have a look at the Create Teach section of Smarthistory:
http://www.smarthistory.org/create-your-own-content1.html
There are a bunch of pages there on this topic - how education departments
in small museums can create these materials, and distribute them. Hope
it's helpful.

Hi,
I am new to the Museum Computer Network and I am looking for any
advice regarding podcasting. I work for a small natural history
museum with a very limited budget and we are looking to make
podcasts of past museum lectures available to the public on our
website. I have been told by senior staff that we do not have enough
space on our website, I wonder if anyone knows how much space a 60
minute podcast would take up. Also, what kind of technology would be
required to post a podcast on our website?
The museum has a myspace profile, and part of the reason we
established it was the possibility that the podcast could be
downloaded from there. Is that really a viable option? We do have a
completely edited podcast ready to go and hope to have it up and
running by the summer. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice,
it would be very helpful to hear about others' experiences with
podcasting in museums.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Lauren Zalut
