Podcasting & Blogging Essentials DVD

The internet is revolutionizing the way we communicate
with a mass audience. Long gone are the days in which
only the newspaper or the radio had the power to spread
information. Today, we can do these things ourselves
with technologies called blogging and podcasting.

This program explains the basic concepts of podcasting
and blogging, two new technologies that allow people to
share their thoughts and ideas over the internet using
text, audio, and video. The viewer will learn the basics
of each technology in plain English, and with step-by-step
instructions for creating his or her own podcast or blog.
No previous knowledge is required, and technical jargon
is avoided. Perfect for people of all ages who have ideas
to share!


DVD Bonus Features:

 "Podcasts and Blogs: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow"
An interview with director Nick Pernisco about the history
and future of podcasts and blogs.

"Making the Podcast"
A short film detailing the development and production of a
podcast.
