Difference between a Podcast and Internet Radio

fractalrecording.com/
Chris Curran explains the critical differences, and when you should use one or the other.

[@noapologiesbroadcasting7816]

Most radio shows ARE archived now as well!

[@Christinecrosby1]

Hi Chris, thanks for the video. We have an Internet Radio show and it is archived just like podcasts.

[@KINGDOMKONCEPT]

A lot has changed since 2013, now some internet radio stations have something called Auto Dj that plays your content playlist 24/7 so of course when you yo live the playlist stops but it automatically continues when you are done with your live broadcast.

Some Podcast are live as well.

Great stuff, hopefully people know by now!

[@buffplums]

Cheers chap. I’m interested in this idea so a good start with some good info..

[@arabvoice5056]

Hi Chris, we would like to start an AM radio station, can you walk us through the steps ?

[@customtheatres]

Killer mic! Nice studio!

[@MegaKarume]

The best information ever...

[@rogmusicafrica4095]

we do both!!

[@Reaction_60]

So any radio broadcast should really double as a podcast, then, so that it can be heard by a greater number of listeners. Correct?

[@ChrisCurran]

Correct, but they should be careful about including (or not) any copyrighted materials in the podcast episodes depending on their rights/permission, etc.

[@Reaction_60]

@@ChrisCurran thank you kindly. And forgive my curious pestering, but what of common use material such as sound bytes from the news or KZbin video? Can the audio from these be used without breaking any rules? And speaking of audio, it certainly seems that most "radio" programs today are nonetheless recorded on video. Is this also necessary for reaching a maximum audience?

[@ChrisCurran]

@@Reaction_60 I don't know all the answers to all your questions, and you're asking for way too much info than I can provide here. Please continue your search of other videos for answers.

[@Reaction_60]

@@ChrisCurran I deeply appreciate the answers.

I like Podcasting the best!

[@TheNobleLoyalist]

I want to start a podcast, but i also want to take calls live. I plan on doing 3 podcasts a week and 1 of those 3 weekly I want to take live calls. Is this possible?

[@ChrisCurran]

Hi! So there are many ways... You could use a platform like BlogTalkRadio which has the ability to take calls built into it. You could buy a digital hybrid, hook it up to a phone line and your mixer and take calls that way. You could have a dedicated computer running Skype and get a Skype number so folks could Skype you via a phone number or Skype's VOIP. You could use a Mac computer, get Audio Hijack and Loopback apps and answer Skype calls and record within one computer. Also, there are probably other platforms like BlogTalkRadio which can do it too. Hope this helps!

[@media1newsriverside]

look at call in studio

[@media1newsriverside]

I like your desk where did you get it at

[@FractalRecording]

I bought a round table and used a saw to cut out a semi-circle for myself!

[@YujoeMych]

niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

[@johnfollet123]

Hi Chris, I'm from Solomon Islands would like to have a podcast in my country. Hope to learn more from you.

[@ChrisCurran]

Sounds great - do it! Good luck

[@politicaladdict1001]

John Follet basically he said fuck off

[@TahsanArif]

Nice video

[@mupinicreativestudios1997]

Send me please

[@smcurly2]

So Blog Talk Radio is both, because the past shows are archived, after they air live..

[@FractalRecording]

Well, kind of. Technically a podcast is subscribable via an rss feed, and usually available in podcast directories like iTunes and Stitcher. I dont believe that archived Blog Talk Radio episodes satisfy either of those. These days many people use the word podcast when they're referring to audio.

[@smcurly2]

Fractal Recording Yeah, I'm just trying to clarify the difference. I run a a show on Blog Talk called 'Coach Cafe Radio', www.coachcaferadio.com , and after about 4+ years of doing the show, I've noticed that a lot of them, 30 or so , are now appearing in ITunes as a free download. I'm trying to figure out if there's an advantage to converting the archived shows to podcasts, and whether that'll give me more control over them...

[@FractalRecording]

Stephen Minion Cool... If you never created an RSS feed, hosted your MP3's on a media server, and then submitted the feed to iTunes, I have no idea how any of your episodes are showing up in there. iTunes is just a podcast directory where folks can discover/find your show and subscribe to it - so when you release a new episode they get notified.

[@smcurly2]

I'm assuming it's because they're archived on Blog Talks site; that's the reason they're suddenly appearing on ITunes. Though the CC website I built is Wordpress based, and RSS might be automatic. I'll have to look into it more. Thanks for your input and help, I appreciate it.

[@didanvdo]

Spreaker does the same thing with episodes archived. I convert audio to MP3 upload to Spreaker account, tag and do a show summary..add art and post. I then take Spreaker link and post it on FB pages I manage. Spreaker counts listener hits for me.
