In this bobCast, I talk about setting up of two roundtable podcasts, and introduce the newest podcast in town known as the "ToddCast".
The ToddCast
This podcast is produced and presented by Dr. Todd Westerfeld of the Student Affairs Department on Broward Community College's South Campus. Todd covers events that come under area of Students Affairs which includes some of the workshops to help improve student performance. The ToddCast can be accessed at http:www.broward.edu/~twesterf/podcasts . Check out this podcast and drop us an email and let us know what you think of the new show or even the old show for that matter. You can reach me at rbuford@broward.edu and Todd at twestf@broward.edu .
Roundtable Discussions
The Broward County Library approached me a few weeks back about creating a podcast on a couple of events they were having at the South Campus. The first of these was Roundtable discussion on Terrorism and the second was Roundtable on Fatherhood in different cultures. The first event was to be held in the "Mass-media Room" of the Library and the second was to be held in what we refer to as the "South Campus Theater" also known as the Teaching Auditorium by some of the old timers at the campus.
I learned several things about location recording from working on these programs. One was do not assume that your recording equipment will interface with the house systems without a good deal of trial and error, and one has to check out the scene and the equipment in person to make sure that things will go as planned. You might think that any old idiot would know such things, but I soon discovered that I was somehow a special type of idiot when I found myself running around trying to get things to work at the last minute.
At any rate, things did work out and the events were posted to the web at there own website. You can link to the podcasts at http:www.broward.edu/~rbuford/podcasts/roundtables . This was the first podcast to be posted to our new podcast webserver which was funded by a grant from SPD this past year. I would like to thank the folks in the Information Technology Department for their help and support in getting us up and running. We will be gearing up for several workshops this next year on how to create your own audio podcast and/or video podcast and upload it to the new server.
Music Featured On This Podcast
The music on this podcast was by a group know as 20-2-12 and featured a very talented young lady named Nina Black. You can checkout more of Nina's music at her website http://www.ninablackmusic.com/. Nina not only sings but writes music as well. We are very glad to have her talents on our podcast.

Our next bobCast will be on opening day at the Omni on North Campus on August 17,2006. Be sure to drop by the Podcast Group Table and be a part of the next bobCast.
