ON AIR: The Art of Podcasting

In a world of voices, how will you be heard?


Mahalo.com outlines the basics of podcasting in their how to: podcast article, which is an in depth, well organized and straightforward approach to creating your own podcast. The guide walks the user through the entire process; from choosing a subject to listing your podcast in a directory.

This article is refreshing. It blends together possible podcasting programs for Mac and PC users alike, marrying up compatible programs for mp3 conversions. The guide recommends several podcasting programs based on a user’s operating system. For the sake of length and clarity, the article uses one program to illustrate a step by step, start to finish podcast.

Links are used to help 'how to-ees' find the right downloadable programs, find more comprehensive tutorials in specific areas, as well as general resources. Print screens, like the one below, are used whenever possible to illustrate a process.


Mahalo.com is an excellent example of network learning. It offers help and advice from people all over the world on various topics, ranging from internet to food, music to weddings and everything in between.

Advance podcast tutorials are available. These tutorials focus on creating as well as promoting podcasts, an excellent tie-in to public relations. For more tutorials on “how to” use other facets of social media, please visit "How to", which will provide you with a complete comprehensive list.
