Podcasts from the SfAA

As I was trying to think of a name for this project last year “podcast” came up a lot because that is essentially what the audio recordings are. I knew that this term “podcast” wouldn’t be a term that everyone was familiar with, but decided to go with it anyhow. My concern was to make the SfAA Podcast project accessible to the discipline of anthropology, but also to make it accessible to non-anthropologists as well. Looking at the Google search terms that have lead visitors to our website (both anthropologists and non), “podcasts” was a good term to go with.

I’ve done several posts about blogs and podcasts, we have an “About Blogs and Podcasts” page, all of our printed materials passed out at the SfAA Annaul Meeting and emails also have a brief overview. Common Craft has once again published a short video clip that explains “Podcasting in Plain English” much better than I can. Common Craft has also done RSS in Plain English and Blogs in Plain English.

Here is Common Craft’s video:
