Kibble has developed a new podcasting service as an information, learning and marketing tool for the social enterprise sector. Podcasting is a way of distributing audio and video files through the Internet. Anyone with an interest in social enterprise can listen to the programmes, features and interviews at any time. Channels include Child and Youth Care, Business, Environment, Food, Lifestyle, Seniors, Conferences and Biography.
Sepodcasts.org will connect members of the social enterprise community around the globe, letting you learn about the sector and hear the experiences of the people involved. You can also keep up-to-date with the latest issues in the sector via debates and speeches from conferences at home and abroad.
By taking part in a pre-recorded interview, you can showcase your social enterprise to the rest of the world. The more people taking part, the more diverse the range of podcast material on offer. Using the latest technology to raise the profile of the social enterprise movement and its vital work, people from all around the world will be able to access information about your organisation at the click of a button.
If you would like to be interviewed for a podcast or have any interesting ideas please contact: , 0141 842 8013.
Podcasting is simply a way of distributing audio and video files through the Internet, allowing the media to be downloaded and played back through your computer or a portable media device like an ipod or other MP3 or video player.
You can use a PC or an Apple computer. If you are running Windows on your PC, it will come pre-installed with Windows Media Player which will play podcasts. An Apple computer will have iTunes which will play MP3 files.
To subscribe and download podcasts you will need an Internet connection and some podcast software.
Software for subscribing to and downloading podcasts is usually free and commonly known as an aggregator. The list below shows some popular ones.(Kibble is not responsible for content of external sites.)
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. The great thing about RSS feeds is that they allow news and information to be "Pushed" to your computer, instead of you having to hunt through different websites and "Pull" the information in.
The reader will require a website address of the feed. Your Internet browser should have an address like:
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml
First, copy the complete address from the address bar. In the reader there should be an option to add a new feed - click on this option and enter the address shown above. The reader will then contact the website and ask it for the latest news items and download them automatically for you to listen to at your leisure. The reader is usually set up to automatically check periodically for new items. This feature makes sure that you are kept up to date with any new podcasts.
