Podcasting Update

 So...a while ago, actually February 6, 2021, I posted about wanting to begin podcasting on a regular basis again.  I am glad to say that I have partially met my goal.  Out of my two podcasts I do publish weekly to my Podbean site, which is set up for my classroom use.  It is mainly a weekly review for my students, it has potential to be helpful with the current educational situation of students either getting sick and being out of school or having to quarantine.  

My other site at Anchor.fm was for my personal use and random thoughts not related to my classroom.  That site has been sporadically used, "life gets in the way of life," as I like to say.  It is not an excuse, it just is a fact, if you are out doing activities, it is often difficult to find time to sit and podcast or blog well and consistently.  The last two terms can be flipped and melded together as in "consistently well," I do not want to do this just to do it.  I want to do it well, which of course is subjective.


I have become a co-host on a third Vlog/Livestream/Podcast, the PAECT Pod, our endeavor that uses Streamyard to push out a livestream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.  The show is then recorded downloaded, edited, then uploaded as an audio file to Anchor.fm.  This show is a once a month effort, with smaller shows to preview upcoming events posted in between shows.  

For now I will consider this a win in the podcasting column.

Podcasting...Again?????

I am once again attempting to revive my podcasting habit, this time not just for my classes...but also general topics about the state of existence...but probably not as deep as it may sound.  My educational podcasts will still be hosted on Podbean, while my non-educational podcast will be hosted on Anchor.fm

The interest in podcasting has been there for many years, it has just been practiced in sporadic fashion, after several starts and stops, it is being attempted once again.  As with any effort that is hoped to catch on, a pattern must be practiced until it becomes a habit and part of a routine.  That is what I am hoping for...the journey will be updated both here and on my educational blog Mrsal.edublogs.org.

You can catch my Season 2: Episode 2 of Mr. Sal's Podcast n'nhat here.
