SoundTech STUSBPOD300 Podcasting Kit

This complete podcasting kit has everything one needs to create and place a podcast on the web for subscription. The included Sony software and AcidPlanet Prozone subscription make the process very easy. Podcasting is the method of distributing audio programs created by anyone over the Internet for playback on MP3players and personal computers.

The word "Podcast” is a combination of the words iPod and broadcast. Unlike radio broadcasts, internet radio and streaming audio, Podcasts are time-shifted, meaning listeners have control over when and where they hear their favorite programming. Also the audio files are delivered automatically to a subscriber, so the latest audio file is always readily available with no effort required by the listener. Podcasts offer listeners the same freedom and level of control they are familiar with when listening to their own personal music collections. Create your own today with this complete LightSnake Podcasting Kit.

Uses for Podcasting: Create your own radio program Promote your band or your favorite music Update your listeners on company or personal events Do a family update Instead of Blogging get your message out with the emotion that only the human voice can convey
