First Steps MotionBox
by Andrew McCaskey
Slashdot Review Podcast
Still getting used to the new Castblaster program that I started using today – and my audio is still recorded in a separate channel.
Thanks for your patience.
We will be talking about this tomorrow as well. MotionBox is much like YouTube 2.0
SDR Listener Leila Pflager at Motionbox.com emailed the link before the Podcast Expo – but just got to contact her today.

On October 12, Slashdot Review will complete 2 years of the podcast service – with a format that is virtually unchanged since day signed on.
It’s time to shift gears in several areas..
First – Music track gone
Lots of great indy music, break for artists – lots of other podcasts, but surveys, emails and conversations indicate that if it’s a choice, most listeners want news and editiorial opinion. By design, the musics was placed at end so could skip – kept it because survey data about 2/3 either liked or were OK.
Plus, reduced bit-rate of encode – smaller files, less space, faster upload and downloads.
Second : 5 days per week. Drive time or during work week at desk – so will produce five shows per week not six.for consumption during the work week. Gotta be honest – I understand podfade – don’t want to do that but got to
Third – 10 mins or less .tried to be consistant, to provide highlights in ten mins or less and will continue.
Fourth – More concise - awareness not in depth understanding. Pointers, references – better show notes Outline, speak informally bullet points.
Fifth – More informal content - Less editing means more commentary and link to expanded resources , better notes, etc.
All of this change is going to take basically the month of October – to build out SDR News to include other primary sources, make some major web site changes and put in place
We were both comfortable with the original format.
I’ve got to learn this new way of presentation
I think it will be more fun, and that in the long run we will be able to offer a better podcast service.
