Chris: For a recent live stream about
podcasting related tools, I decided
to build a podcast version of my blog.
You can watch the video,
embed it on the blog post.
Why would I want a podcast of my blog?
You can embed an MP three in most blogging
software and it will play just fine.
So setting up a whole podcast feed for
your blog might be overkill, but once I
tried embedding an audio recording of a
blog post, it felt weird to not be able
to subscribe to just the audio recordings.
It's probably because I spend my day
in podcast editing work for clients
that my brain is wired this way.
So your mileage may vary.
Wait.
You haven't recorded audio for all your
blog posts, and I'm not sure why this
is turning into an FAQ of questions
nobody has asked yet, frequently or
otherwise, but let's run with it.
First of all, I'm not gonna go
back to the archives and record for
all 1000 plus blog posts I've got.
Maybe I'll do an i I version
someday and I won't record audio
for every future blog post.
Some posts don't feel worth the effort.
Some posts are awkward to read
out loud, and sometimes I just
don't have the time to do it.
But if there's a post you've read on
my blog that you think deserves the
audio treatment, please get in touch.
Subscribe to my blog's podcast.
Every blog post where there's an audio
version will now have an embedded player
from Transistor, the best podcast hosting
platform on the planet, as well as this
little call out telling people they can
subscribe to the podcast if they want to.
You listeners of the podcast right
now, obviously already know this
'cause you're listening to this
right now, the video as promised.
Here's a longer walkthrough video
of how I set up the podcast feed
for my blog with transistor.
Please note this isn't a tutorial on how
to record audio for the podcast, just a
tutorial on how to set it up as a podcast.
