"Podcasting: The Sheer Audacity!"

By Jerry Franklin

Program Description

What is podcasting and how can I use it in my work? Jerry will answer these questions by presenting a brief overview of podcasting in the corporate world, and by providing a few examples of how podcasts are being used to deliver technical information.

Jerry will spend most of the presentation providing an overview and high-level tutorial on Audacity, the free audio editing software which has enabled many people both with and without technical backgrounds to produce their own podcasts.
