Podcasting
a Local Event
When going into the Podcasting world it can
sometimes be hard to find something of interest that is not
over done. You will want to find something that keeps people
interested, yet what others have not already covered. A
good place to start is in your own community. You will want to see
what is available that interests you as well as the rest of
the community. One of every town’s hot relations is sporting
events. Most people follow sports in some capacity. National
sports are largely talked about in all areas, including Podcasts.
The commodity you want to hit is the local sports events. Go
for children’s sports, middle school and high school sports,
and local university sports. These are all of major interest
and not over played in the Podcasting community. Depending
on what you have the most have in your community and are most
likely to follow and Podcast on daily is the big thing. You
want to be able to keep your listeners and/or viewers informed.
Children’s
sports are a great way to begin Podcasting. It
is fun and parents love to hear how well their kids do. Most
times it is about learning the game and doing well as a team.
Podcasting at older children’s sporting events can be a great
way for future teams to pick their star players. Most people
will be willing to be interviewed and will not have an issue
with you Podcasting to local parents. This should be considered
a practice run is school and local sports events for Podcasting.
This is a great way to get started in the ways of Podcasting,
but very efficient if you want many listeners. You will want
to move up into something more competitive such as middle school
or high school sporting events.
Middle
school sports actually have to be tried out for and
are far more covered in the local media than the younger kids.
Parents are actually very interested as well as peers in hearing
what happened at the local sporting event through Podcasting.
Now a days many kids have iPods and a school-sporting event
that they have to miss can be easily retrieved through a Podcast.
You will be able to either make an audio or even a video Podcast.
If you are doing a video Podcast of the game you will need
to make sure it is smaller than the actual game. You might
want to use some of the highlights while talking about the
game and its stars. You will always have something to Podcast
because no matter what time of year there is always some form
of school sports occurring. Most junior high schools offer
football, baseball, basketball, and track for boys. They also
usually offer field hockey, softball, basketball, and track
for girls. This gives a wide range of local Podcasting options.
You might want to do two separate Podcasts for the boys and
the girl’s teams. You might make your Podcast more seasonal
and include both the current boys and girls sporting events
at the same time.
High
school sports will be the biggest local sporting events
that occur for most places. There is a high demand for Podcasting
in this area. This is when many athletic students are going
for college scholarships. Usually most towns and cities are
really into their high school sports teams and especially if
they have kids in that age group parents love to hear all about
what happened at the local game. Not only is this a popular
way to get parents more involved with Podcasting and how it
works, but also the kids can download local event Podcasting
to listen to during lunch or study hall. Teens are very much
into their local sporting events and most have iPods today.
Podcasting local high school sporting events can be a very
effective field. If you are gearing your Podcasts toward teens
you can also talk about other local events as well. You can
Podcast any concerts that are coming or any entertainment in
the area geared towards teens. Podcasting is a great tool to
keep people informed on what is going on in their own communities.
The idea of being able to easily access the local events in
your area is wonderful. # # # # #
