We talked about how podcasting works, and what our favorite podcasts are. In fact, we both have enjoyed Teaching for the Future with Dave LaMorte. Chris mentions the “Something to be Desired” online TV show produced in Piitsburgh, and politely gives a plug for The Father Son Chats.

We talk about Chris’ social media group, Grasshoppers that is there to answer the question “How can I be helpful?”

How can podcasting be useful for students, or educators? We talk about that as well.

The Professor's Notes no Talkshoe, Anyone? http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/218 http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/218#comments Sat, 18 Aug 2007 15:56:09 +0000 Steve Brady http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/218 Tommy Vallier from Talkshoe is giving a presentation on how to get started with TalkShoe.

What is TalkShoe? Enables anyone to create, join or listen to LIVE, Interactive, podcasts… (and is a local Pittsburgh PA Company!) For those that listen to the most popular podcaster today (Leo Laporte) he uses this for many of his podcasts, most noteably, Net@Night with Amber McArthur.

  • Podcast
  • live audio streaming
  • live chat
  • takes CALLS

Who is using TalkShoe? Talkcasters. I mentioned Leo and Net@Night (id 3185), but also

  • Geeza (live commentary DVD viewing… Wow!) (talkshoe ID 8230)
  • Scott and Kris – The Power Hour, they are comics writers (talkshoe id 5809)
  • Bill Alexander – The NETIO Show (id 1832) He broadcasted last night at the restaurant!
  • Cliff Ravenscraft – GSPN.tv (is 5138)
  • Adam Christianson – The Maccast (id 17436)
  • The Grasshoppers (id 43023) Chris Brogan runs this one! People helping people! How cool!)
  • Tech Podcasts Roundtable (id 3254)

So why do TalkShoe he asks?

  • Connect with audience
  • Format change
  • meet people with common interests (miniatures? Doll Houses?)
  • form friendships
  • content that lasts
  • build communities
  • have fun!

HOW do we do this?

  • Sign up (user ID, Pin, and install the software)
  • Click “Create” button…
  • Call In to the show…
    • With Skype (using skypeOut)
    • VOIP (SJ Phone, Gizmo Project)
    • ShoePhone (Talkshoe’s built in VOIP)
    • POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service!)
  • Click on Record.

It’s that simple.

How much does it cost?

$0.00 (And that is in Canadian dollars… the conversion to Euros is… 0.00)

In FACT they PAY you–$50 for the first 10 episodes, and pay per download after that. How cool is THAT?

NEXT RELEASE: Codename: “Tokyo” ETA 10 Sept 07

===================================

How cool is this? My son and I are thinking it might be a great way to make our football conversations a bit more interactive, and get more people involved. Really helps us connect with the audience. That CAN’T be a bad thing!

How can I use this in education? Imagine a “virtual study group” hosted through podcast–where students can call in and ask questions, and the professor can answer.

How about a call in show to leaders in Supply Chain? Wouldn’t you love a chance to pick the brains of the movers in logistics and supply chain?

Again, how cool…
