Northern Voice podcast was a success!
Northern Voice 2007 happened a little over a week ago, and we were happy to be there podcasting the sessions. When all was said and done we had posted 36 episodes, including two interviews with Darren Barefoot from the organizing team. We learned a lot from the experience, including:
- Getting video from the camera to the web is still relatively difficult (especially with just a laptop), despite tools like Windows Movie Maker.
- Material to supplement the audio (such as a slide deck) would have been nice in a lot of cases.
- Always have a schedule worked out in advance.
- You can always improve the quality of your recordings!
Despite these and other lessons, it seems most people were pretty pleased with the podcast. We've received a bunch of comments from attendees and others, thanking us for making the recordings available. It was our pleasure!
Finally, I'll leave you with some stats about the podcast:
- We posted 36 episodes
- Combined, the episodes take up 7.83 GB of storage space (including all the conversions)
- If you were to listen to every episode, it would take 26 hours, 7 minutes, and 13 seconds
- The average episode length is 43 minutes, 32 seconds
