Podcast #5 contains cigar-related content and I found it pretty enjoyable. He also has a pretty good explanation of what a pod cast is for those saying WTF?

Found via ASC

Anyone else interested in doing a cigar podcast or planning one? If so, I can host your podcasts here on BOTL...

Can we do one without an IPOD?

Can we do one without an IPOD?

Absolutely. In simple terms, a Podcast is essentially RSS linked up to audio content (usually an mp3) rather than a blog post/news story.

The internet is in need of a really good cigar podcast. I've been looking for one for a while. The problem is that it needs to be published regularly or people won't subscribe. If I knew anything about cigars I would offer to do one.

 

[Eric]

Consider this an open invitation to any BOTL who wants to "talk" cigars, coffee, etc. All that is required is a recording via microphone and I can take care of polishing, publishing and hosting the podcast.

We have some vocal members here... so, who's up for it?

 

[Cigar_Jack]

Maybe it is something we could do collectively? Would be a good thing for the site.. maybe get us some more traffic.

I believe Leo Laporte & crew were using Skype for the first several versions of the TWiT Podcast (This Week in Tech - http://www.thisweekintech.com). Sounds ilke a possibility...

so has the first podcast been done yet? I was in IPOD and ITUNES land all weekend, so I'm raring to go.

 

[Cigar_Jack]

No we still need to come up woth something.

 

[allanf]

Well...Let's get this going? All I have is my built in mic, but I have production experience.

 

[Cigar_Jack]

What should our first podcast focus on?
Maybe Improvised Humidor ideas?

 

[Jwrussell]

I like the sound of that...

 

[matalo]

I think this is a great idea. A nice round table, per se. Count me in, please! Skype info is in my profile. Actually, all IM stuff is in there.

 

[Cigar_Jack]

Maybe a guide or something... "The Journey from Novice to Aficinado." (sp)

Just to let you know, I haven't forgotten about this. Been quite busy lately... :jitb:

I might be interested in being a participant. I've got a skype account that I'd like to test out. LMK.
