Mine is http://www.youtube.com/user/hurdie1/live  When you not on air folks will land on your channel. If you send  link prior to live broadcast folks can click the link at showtime watch or listen in

Good luck with your Hangouts on Air!

Short Podcast Audio Messages On Social Networks

I think about 11 years ago when broadcasting audio over the net was hard.   Video was in early experimental stages. Many technologies had to work properly for Internet broadcasting.  Those were the days when content streamed  live would land you in nerdville..

Now days any person with a little knowledge can take advantage of tools. Recently I pulled my Hurdie Burk Internet Broadcast Network off a Windows Server Farm fighting all the way.  Only because the technology was in my comfort zone and easy management of a broadcast.

I still do my 1 hour broadcast on Hangouts and broadcast live on my YouTube channel. These are long play and designed for a business interview.  All this lead to some ideas. The one that stuck. Download a mp3 recorder to my smart phone for short interviews with folks and push to social network footprints.

The idea replace our written post with some "moments that matter" audio podcast.

Short Video interviews work the same way.   Decided to add Quickvids to the mix.  These are additional products that support my main product the Video 6 Pack. Not going to get rich it does support my brand.

What Steps Are Needed

1. Download MP3 Recorder to your smart phone.
2. Limit interviews to 1-2 minutes ( get to the point).
3. Email recording to your email address.
4. Edit audio if you like.
5. Host on a a site like Libsyn.com .
6. Host site usually gives you links to embed and share.
7. Submit to itunes
