Michael Geoghegan, veteran podcaster, author and co founder of training seminar series The Podcast Academy, is offering download access to the complete recordings for Podcast Academy #1. The catch? The podcast recordings, long out of circulation, are available for today only, only to visitors who complete a quick 10-question survey.
The first Podcast Academy was held in 2005, concurrently with the first Portable Media Expo (which evolved into the New Media Expo, and recently became the Blog World & New Media Expo). The nine sessions (five hours of content in all) are surprisingly evergreen, and include topics such as:
- Daniel Steinberg of O’Reilly on Advanced Audio Editing Techniques,
- Josh Bancroft (Intel, Tiny Screenfuls) on Podcasting From Mobile Devices
- Todd Cochrane (Blubrry, Geek News Central) on Building A Podcast Network
- Michael Geoghegan (Grape Radio, Podcast Academy, Gigavox) on Making Money Beyond Podcasting
plus several other panel discussions on business podcasting, studio setups, audience building and more.
The survey readers must complete in trade for access to the recordings is short (took me a couple minutes), focusing on your level of involvement and expertise with podcasting, and what sorts of learning opportunities you have had in the past, and might look for in the coming year, to enhance your podcast and new media skills. Geoghegan says they are looking for reader/listener input as they plan course offerings for 2009.
