Intro to Podcasting

I will be posting periodically to this site about sermon podcasting for pastors, minister, evangelists, churches, and anyone else who wants to spread the Word of God using the Internet.

We can thank the folks at Apple for this wonderful technology. It all began with the iPod. Wikipedia says this about podcasting:

The term is a portmanteau of the words “iPod” and “broadcast”,[1] the Apple iPod being the brand of portable media player for which the first podcasting scripts were developed (see history of podcasting). These scripts allowed podcasts to be automatically transferred to a mobile device after they are downloaded.[2]

Now just about any portable audio player can be setup to receive a podcast. Think of it like a radio station and each portable device is a receiver for your broadcast. Always wanted to own your own radio station? Well, now you can have essentially the same thing by podcasting and you can get started for very little cash.

Some people buy specialized podcasting software and have an elaborate setup for recording podcasts. Some of these even have the professional sound complete with bumper music and all. It all depends on how far you want to go. Want to hire a professional voice over guy(or Gal) to record your professional intro? You can do it for as little as $30. Need some free background music you can use to make your own intro using Audacity? It’s all listed below. You can do it all for free or you can go Pro.

Here are some links that you will find helpful in setting up your podcast ministry.

Welcome to Sermon Shout

Sermon Shout is like having your own radio station and television station. It makes broadcasting audio or video very easy. Have you always wanted to put audio or video on your church website? Sermon Shout is the tool to make it happen.

Not only can you create a podcast, but imagine creating multiple channels to broadcast on. You could have a channel for your pastors sermons, bible studies, etc. You could turn your youth group loose with a video camera and create a youth video channel. How many visitors do you think you will drive to your church website if your youth are broadcasting crazy videos.

Think of the people you could reach if your imagination gets plugged into Sermon Shout.

This blog will compliment the Sermon Shout website and offer insights, tips, and tricks for using Sermon Shout.
