Podcast Outline

The following is an outline for my podcast. I intend on following this structure and adding in details as I go so that the podcast is a natural progression, kind of like a conversation. I am comfortable with the material and think that by choosing a conversational format, my audience will enjoy listening!

-What is Networking? (CC image worked on by me) Any activity designed to utilize interpersonal relationships

-Why network? 72% of jobs attained through networking. Tough job market, need to stand out

-Who to contact? (CC image, worked on by me) family, friends, professional connections

Follow up- after the event, follow up with a thank you and show your appreciation

Give Back- offer to help the person helping you in any way possible

Review: Slidecast

Well, it would be great if I were able to get slideshare to work to upload my masterpiece! All this hard work and every time I try to sync my audio with the slideshow, it comes back as an error on behalf of Slideshare. As soon as it works itself out, I will post the final product.

Producing the podcast, along with remixing music was much easier than I had imagined it would be. With Mac's Garageband and a good apple lap top, anything is possible. Garageband is extremely intuitive and user friendly. I enjoyed the process of finding free music samples to remix and used some of my own recorded music as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Garageband laid out the tracks for me to play with, edit and cut. After trying audacity and comparing it to my experience with Garageband, I am definitely a fan of the latter!

The whole process of creating the slidecast (though I have not been able to sync the two) has been a very good one. In my future career, I am certain that I will be engaging in public information sharing in one way or another. This tool is definitely one that I will use in my career. It is really applicable to any area of life too. For example, a slidecast would be a great way to share information about life changes (wedding, baby, retirement) in a storybook form. My fiancee recently suggested doing an e-announcement of our engagement (not sure if we will end up doing that) but this would be a great way to spread the news! These are just a few fun applications that this skill could be used for. I am pleased that we were given this assignment and I look forward to adding my audio to my slideshow!
