BBC Bitesize podcasts

A range of Geography revison “audiobite” podcasts have appeared at the Bitesize site They are quite informal and incorporate sound effectsÂ and dialogue by actual actors! More podcasts should be added in due course.

I wrote the human geography scripts so that’s why there is a slight South West bias (check the Sidmouth accent on the Aging Populations podcast!)Â Here’s one example: download Foriegn Aid.mp3

Since I don’t really listen to podcasts, I’d be interested in feedback. Personally I think they’ve turned out rather well!

PodOmatic

I’m not a podcast enthusiast, saving my ears for the likes of RJD2, however I appreciate the potential, and am probably the last to discover podOmatic, a site that hosts and even creates your podcast for you, via an online recording feature. I had a go, and agree with the site’s view that Audacity is a better recording option. PodOmatic includes a very helpful section on tips. The site does seem to offer the most straightforward option for recording a classroom activity as a podcast. When I eventually feel the urge to commit myself in this direction I’ll give PodOmatic a proper trial.
