¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 The term “audio podcast” sounds geeky, and this can be a turn-off for some folks. I’ve been using the term “radio show” instead of “audio podcast” in my educational technology work with teachers and students the past few years, and it seems to be received with less confusion and fear. This is important.

¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 Whatever term you choose to use, an audio podcast is a pre-recorded audio file available for on-demand listening, featuring different segments (or spots) combined into a single program. This is an MP3 audio recording of a Sunday School class podcast I created with 4th and 5th graders in July 2008. I posted this to the BLASTcast Podcast site on WordPress.com.

¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 The following photo is a storyboard or podcast “lineup” for a 5th Grade Sunday School audio podcast I helped students create back in 2011 about “How and Why to Pray.” Unfortunately, we shared that audio file on a website that is now offline (Cinch.fm) so the actual mp3 file is lost to history.
