GCast.com

Okay, this is just cool! After I posted the last entry (and finished watching the movie I was watching ). I signed up for a GCast.com account. Why, I had to give this a try.

I guess I should take a moment to tell you about how easy this was to do!

The process began by going to the web site. (http://www.gcast.com/) Next, I clicked through and yes, I even read the tutorial. Now most people would sign up for an account at this point but I was so excited, I thought I would Blog about. After posting an entry on both my Blog (http://shawnwheeler.blogspot.com/) and the Adventures in Podcasting site – Entry 42 (http://staffweb.peoriaud.k12.az.us/shawn_wheeler/podcast) I signed up for an account. This took all of 3 minutes and I was ready to go. Off to find the phone. After tracking down the phone, I dialed the toll free number, input my secret code and followed the audio prompts. After speaking into the phone, I was given the chance to listen to what I said or publish. I wanted the eTicket ride so I listened to my recording. Score, it sounded silly enough for me so I published the recording. Now I opened my web browser, navigated to my GCast site to listen to my podcast. (http://www.gcast.com/u/ShawnWheeler/main)

They even give you the source code to add the GCast podcast to several blogs.

I have to say this is pretty slick. Again, don’t take my word for it. Give it a try.

Oh, and if you want to listen to this podcast, here is the link to the MP3. (http://www.garageband.com/mp3/.C5SObSqE/01_Jun_1__2006_Phone_call.mp3)
