Remember that time I was a Podcaster?

It is January, 2016 as I type this and it has been 3 years since I started podcasting… and 2 years since I recorded my last episode. 😉

 

If you were interested in doing a podcast one piece of software I recommend is Audacity. It helps you record and edit audio. The price is also right because it is free. You can host a podcast lots of places but I suggest avoiding the hassles and hosting it with a specialty service like libsyn. They’re not very expensive and it is worth skipping hassles like finding out your hosting provider isn’t compatible with itunes, etc.

 

I found podcasting enjoyable but I initially stopped recording episodes because of some technical difficulties I had with my audio equipment recording the phone interviews I conducted. Then I just never got started again except for one episode in the following January. So here we are in another January and I’m about to terminate the podcast feed for the old episodes, but they will still be available since I’ve uploaded them to YouTube. Soon the only way you’ll be able to listen to them is via YouTube. You can find links to the podcast episodes on YouTube through the podcast website www.mentalhealthday.org.

 

The website will also continue to confirm for you that “Today is National Take a Mental Health Day!”
