Successful podcasts and webinars
With Andy White & Barry Sampson, hosted by Viv Cole
Fri
12th March @ REDTRAY,
St. Albans House, 57/59 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4QX
Starts: 10:30 coffee for 11:00am promptly


Successful podcasting (Andy White)

Andy will show you how to create your first audio podcast using a mic, the free Audacity software, and the free WordPress blogging software. He'll cover planning, recording, equipment, microphone technique, encoding and uploading, and integration into WordPress using the Podpress plugin. Andy will also talk about getting your podcast series into iTunes.

Andy has been regularly producing podcasts since 2006, for clients large and small, including Internet Marketing which is regularly in the featured list under the Management and Marketing categories in iTunes. The local people in Brighton often call him the "Podfather'', even though he keeps telling them that the real Podfather is Adam Curry and if they don’t stop it, Adam will probably come down to Brighton and beat him up. He much prefers to be called "Doctor Pod'' because when he was younger, he wanted to be a doctor and he now sees himself as a kind of doctor for people who need help with podcasting and such things. As well as writing, producing, presenting and marketing podcasts, Andy also develops web applications, begrudgingly offers IT support, and can name every part of the anatomy of a spider.

Successful Webinars (Barry Sampson)

Barry Sampson is a co-founder and director of Onlignment, a company that specialises in online communication and collaboration, with a particular focus on the use of synchronous tools for learning. As part of a remote team himself, virtual communication is an every day fact of life.

Starting with the question ‘what is a webinar?’ this interactive session will cover how and why you might want to use them, the tools and skills you'll need and of course the potential costs. We’ll explore the use of webinars for learning, communication and even for marketing your own business.
