The topics for this week’s FRL podcast are a review of a USAToday article about podcasting, and a plea to Pimp My Blog. Text entries to FRL will follow in a day or two.
As the hymn goes, I woke up this morning with my mind on podcasting (when I should have been giving a final once-over to essays by Angelou and Baldwin for class tonight), and on the third try had a new podcast. Today I taught myself a little more about cut and paste, using the editing features of Audacity to remove some of the “uhs” and “ahhs” and fumbles before saving the project as an MP3. I wanted to go to the Internet Archive and find an appropriate bit of bluegrass as the intro, but it was time to render unto Caesar, so I saved the MP3, uploaded it to my blog, and put it in my entry.
Steve “Library Stuff” Cohen recorded an MP3 from a cell phone this morning, using Audioblogger. Go, Steve, go! Tonight or tomorrow I’ll see if I can pick up his MP3 with my podcast aggregator.

Great podcast! I was thinking about adding some music clips to liven up my future library news podcasts too. Do you have any info on the legality of making like 30 second clips from Internet Archives open source audio that doesn’t have CC license listed? Like the older recordings from the ’20s etc. Thanks!
Rather than lipsticked chickens or cows, I always have had in mind a backdrop of a range, something suitably Western, like the Berkeley Hills or buttes and mesas (says the East coast person). Maybe there could be a couple bugs and some straw, like a free-range chicken might like to scratch around in? I’m just making some suggestions for someone with graphical gifts. I remain relentlessly text-based.
