That is the question, Gentle Reader. I've been doing some research recently about podcasting (as in, the past twelve hours), and it looks like Yours Truly may be supplementing The Roost with a podcast in the near future.

I've actually gone through the steps to do it before, with the exception of using an RSS feed; I used the same technology for a course I taught online.

Okay, I used the same technology to do three podcasts. I wanted to do like six or seven, but it nearly killed me figuring all of the tech stuff out at the time. I never managed to get it nailed down completely.

But all that's changed now! See, the main holdup was that I had nowhere to really store the podcast files, and as you may or may not know, audio files can get a mite large on the memory. My dinky 10 MB of storage on Earthlink won't cut it. Now, though, an increasing number of sites are hosting storage online for free. Places like Gcast.com and Ourdomain.org are all about helping people get the voice out -- for free.

As in, cash money none.

I'm already trying to get Hambone to start one herself. She says she needs time to think it over. I guess I need to do the same: I'm not sure exactly how comfortable I am making that switch to voice. I flatter myself that I manage fairly well with text, but voice is another matter altogether. You can edit and emend text much more easily than you can audio. Okay, so I can do a fair job with audio files too, but even so, it takes a lot more to make an audio recording sound polished.

Hmm. Have you an opinion, Gentle Reader?
