Podbean
I had previously used PodBean and I found it to be user friendly and simple to do voice recording. Through the free basic version on PodBean, users have the ability to create an account either through Facebook, Gmail or make their own account. I personally used my gmail account to sign up to this podcast. A confirmation email is sent to you with a code to sign in. On the dashboard, you will fill in basic information about yourself and you also have the option to select a theme and edit some of the styling versions and you can also include an image from your downloads.. Once you are done, you can start an new episode and start voice recording. The episodes that you create are saved for you to edit or publish on a later time depending on your upgrade. If you decide you want to publish your podcast, you have the option to embed your link or share it through different social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Messenger, and many more. Although the free version only allows you to record five hours of voice recording or live stream, it is still a great podcast to use as part of the free basic plan. If you decide to upgrade, you have unlimited time to record with many more options to use. This podcast was one of my favorite ones.
Zencastr
Users can sign up for a free account or pay monthly to upgrade. The free version doesn't allow you to host nor publish or edit your recording but due to Covid-19 virus users have unlimited guest and recording time. It is user friendly and easy to use. Just like the other podcast your voice recording is high quality but again it is very limited. Again, I do not think this one podcast that I would like to use in the future.
Anchor
This is one podcast that I have never used before. My group and I decided to use this podcast for our voice recordings. With one account multiple people can record while in the same location or it can also be done remotely. The person who creates the account can invite others by sending a link where the recording takes place. The recording time it is up to the individual and it gives you an option to use any electronic device whether you are using cell phone, computer and iPad. If you would like to add music to the recording, it gives you the option to add it to your recording. The recording was done from Anchor but uploaded to PodBean.

Hi Virginia,
ReplyDeleteI also chose to use Anchor but I did not know a person could invite others by sending a link and multiple could record from the same account! I just pushed record while we talked over Zoom. I'll have to explore it more :)
I really liked all the ways that you thought about incorporating podcasts into the library on your campus. It gave me some food for thought! Great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed listening to your podcast. I guess I knew of some awards but I didn't pay that much into detail. Texas Bluebonnet Award is pretty neat for our students to get involved. My group and I really wanted to make Anchor work, I happened to like it a lot but I think we all had it in our minds to already really try to make it work with Podbean, and it came out great. Kudos for you input on the different podcasts and the ways libraries can implement them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful podcast! I found it very informative and helpful. This is the type of information a librarian can post to the library's website and patrons can access this information at their leisure.
ReplyDeletePodcasts provide students the opportunity to build their listening skills. This is an important language skill, just like reading and writing. Your reviews on the podcast apps are great, thank you for sharing!
