Podcasting with Streamload

Greetings! I’m Mark from Streamload Support, and this is my first post to the Streamload Blog.

Working in Streamload Customer Support, we regularly see trends and changes in the way our customers use Streamload.

Hosting 'Podcasts' via Streamload is one such trend that has recently taken off in a big way. If you're not familiar with podcasting, it's a method of publishing audio programs for download via the Internet. Podcasting is popular with bloggers, and has also been adopted by traditional broadcasters such as NPR and BBC.

Hosting audio for ‘on demand’ access has always been possible at Streamload, but we've seen much more action in this area since podcasting became popular in late 2004. Content creators faced with web host bandwidth limitations can solve the problem by outsourcing their file hosting and delivery requirements to Streamload.

If you're interested in seeing what all the fuss is about, I've included a list of Podcast directories below. These directories link to podcasts from around the internet and feature a wide range of subjects:

Podcast Directories
Podcast Alley
Digital Podcast
Podcast.net

Below is a list of my personal podcast favorites. Please note these are all technology and internet related - if that’s not what floats your boat, the directories above have something for everyone!

Internet/Tech Podcasts

endgadget Podcasts
IT Conversations

Despite the ‘Pod’ reference to Apple’s iPod, any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts. My most cherished audio device is currently the iriver T10 .

Listening to podcasts is a fun way to learn about new things, and anyone can create their own podcast.

Whether you’re an experienced podcaster or a fledgling newbie, check out Streamload's file storage, hosting and delivery services for fast, reliable digital content distribution.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Streamloading!
