I was on holiday last week, working in the garden and I did avoid getting sunburnt. Progress on podcasts, or videos was minimal, therefore there is little to say. I purchased a Rode Lavalier II microphone and a Rode Wireless Go II system with one transmitter and one receiver. This is a neck microphone which…

The week was dominated by working on the videos. But first, some progress on the two podcasts. I did record two more episodes of The Diary of a Digital Nobody and published one of them and edited the other which I will publish next week. Having set myself the objective of publishing the first two…

I did publish Week 6 of ‘The Diary of a Digital Nobody’ podcast using up the one recording I had in the bag. I failed again to start the Maximo Bite Size podcast. This really must be launched next week, and I will be laser focused on recording two of each podcast. The Location Types…

It was a busy week, and I’ll start with the podcast of ‘The Diary of a Digital Nobody’. I recorded two more episodes and published Week 5. This gives me one more recording in the bag, assuming I can still find it, which should be published quite easily next week. I didn’t get round to…

I am spending the afternoons working out the workflow for the videos and the associated techniques. I am still using OBS Studio, but I will also compare this with iMovie and possibly also Camtasia. The movie recording, I made last week, was 720p and I’ll record it again at 1080p. There were certainly some pieces…

The thought I had was to record, in video form, my narration of the transcripts for each episode of Maximo Bite Size, for which forty have now been written, then splitting out the audio for the podcast and adding the video with a few slides and posting this on YouTube. This week I created the…

There is little to say this week as I have been on holiday strimming and mowing a path around the perimeter of our field, a completely unplanned project. This was a path 2m wide by 300m, I can mow at least 200m of this, and so it is maintainable, I keep telling myself. I checked…

The week started out with a test of Speakflow, an autocue/teleprompter. I’ve written my podcast scripts, now need to narrate them, ideally in a single take with no touching of the keyboard or mouse clicks which would be picked up by the microphone. This cloud-based software, which is free to use, definitely falls into the…

How time flies! I managed to post My Podcast Journey Week 19 on time this week as I was preparing it during the week when everything was fresh in mind. That is exactly what I am doing now, for week 20. When I posted Week 4 to the WordPress Courses Community, again in two parts,…

Early in the week I caught up with My Podcasting Journey publishing Week 18 to the new WP Courses Community Blog. That’s a bit of a mouthful someone ought to think of an alternate name to give it a more approachable identity. It was a bit of a relief getting one half of my catch…
