Create your own

Want to do some podcasting yourself? Mike Gannotti (King of the SharePoint Video Blog) has made it easy with this video… Easy Podcasting with SharePoint. Also get the .ics Outlook calendar reminder for his weekly webcasts, most recently he provides guidance on the podcasting kit for SharePoint (link below).

Get the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint (FREE!) on Codeplex.

Other blog posts on incorporating podcasts into your SharePoint site, based on the comments, this hasn’t been too effective. Mike Gannotti has been having good luck with his solutions from what I understand.

Also if the Codeplex solution for podcasts is nice, but you want a fully supported one built on SharePoint… Look at Nintex Podcast Server 2008 (cool builtin silverlight based recorder, tell them Joel sent you…)

Found this source for what’s going on in relation to webcasts, audio, podcasts, etc… is TechNet Radio and the TechNet Webcasts Blog.

Other Resources

What’s the difference between a podcast and on demand video. Well with a podcast you should be able to download an MP3 ideally you’d be able to sync a bunch of them to your Zune or iPod/Iphone device. The on demand video often isn’t in a format that you can download especially if it’s on YouTube an ASMX or streaming. There are ways of converting the formats, to get it to your device but I’ll leave that for another day.
