Hi Everyone,
Now that my new website at www.peterwink.com is up and running...the questions are pouring in!
A reader wrote and asked me what podcasting is and how they can download the latest and greatest podcasts.
Well first and foremost, come October, you'll be able to get podcasts of the Peter Wink Self Development Show featuring seminars and interviews on a multitude of self help, health, and business topics. So stay tuned for a surprise sneak peak sometime very soon!
For now...here's the definition of podcast right from Wikipedia...
Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term (a portmanteau), was coined in 2004 combining "iPod", a popular portable audio device, and "broadcasting."
The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading feeds like RSS or Atom.
Usually a podcast features one type of 'show', with new episodes released either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily or weekly. In addition, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.
My two favorite podcasting sites include...
- www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/
- www.podcast.net
There are many more. If you find one you like, please post it to this blog.
Until next time...
Peter
PS...I'm wasn't kidding. My dream of becoming a talk show host is becoming reality. And the Peter Wink Show will be coming sooner than you think. I'll be interviewing experts in marketing, communications, negotiation, motivation, success, health, nutrition, exercise, and a multitude of other topics.
