We learned in class how to make a podcast today. Professor Littau showed us an example that took him about two minutes to complete, and then we went off on our own. Steph, Alyssa and I recorded a five minute video about our experiences with reporting on homelessness in the Lehigh Valley, and then went to the computer to transfer it into a podcast. We used podbean.com to convert it.
That's when disaster struck.
Turns out, our video uploaded as a WMA file - which is a file that Podbean does not support. After about 10 tries and a ton of frustration, Professor Littau found the website youconvertit.com, which will transfer your link into the correct file. Well, we converted it to an MP3, uploaded it, and ta da! It worked.
But not so fast.
We then went to our blogs to try and embed the podcast into a blogpost. Well, once we did that, it did not play. Nor did it play during our second or third tries. After a little more trial and error, we finally found the correct embed code, and finally managed to get it into our blogs.
So, here it is. Listen to it! It took a lot of work to get this here.
