Your worst boss ever

The third podcast produced by the participants of the Ragan Communications “Communicating with the Wired World” workshop—this one in Washington, D.C.—has an interviewer (Cheri Johnson with the U.S. Grains Council in D.C) talking to three other participants about the worst bosses they ever had. As always, the idea here to show participants how drop-dead easy it is to produce a podcast. Using a portable digital recorder, the interviewer wanders the room to do the interviews. I pull the WAV file into Audacity on my laptop, edit and add opening and closing music, save to MP3, add ID3 tags and post here. The class watches it all on the screen.

The first episode, with participants from San Francisco, dealt with where to eat in SF.
The second episode, with participants from New York, dealt with the worst job you ever had.

The “worst boss” podcast is 1.1 MG MP3 file runs 2:26.

Download the file.

Podsafe music used for opener and closer is “Kissin’ in Your Sleep” by Barry McCabe, from the Podsafe Music Network.

  • 1.Great example, Shel. One question. What brand/type of portable digital recorder was used for the podcast? It comes through very clear and clean. Nice edits.
