Let’s start talking

I thought we’d try something a little bit different today.

I’ve made a short podcast so you you can get to hear me rather than just read me. It’s just a short 5 minute talk but I’m pretty excited to have created it by myself.

Take a listen and let me know what you think. If this works out well then I might do a few more down the track.

I’m sure you know what to do:

  1. Turn your speakers on
  2. Click on the little Speaker graphic below
  3. Sit back and let me talk at you

Very good job, Karen! Nice to hear your voice, I feel like I know you a lot better now! Great podcast, very interesting and informative.
I look forward to seeing your new-look template when you get it up and running!

Sorry I never got back to you with feedback on that other post, I guess I’ve just been really busy. But I do like your blog and aside from my issues with viewing it (which will not be issues anymore since you are changing the template) I can’t really think of anything you should change. :-)

This was so wonderful! I love your accent and it is really nice to put a voice to a blog. I’ve never done a podcast before but this was wonderful and I look for many more!

Very cool Karen. Look forward to hearing you again soon. :)

Great job, Karen. I’m experimenting with this too… just learning so far. Did you use Audacity software for this podcast?

BrigittevT September 7, 2007 at 1:11 am

Awesome, so great listening to you ! Somehow it makes it a bit more personal, isn’t that weird ? LOL And no, had no problems with your accent ;-) It will be fun to really hear you every now and than !

Great podcast, I hope you’ll make some more!

Amazed with how I feel like I really know you now that I have heard your voice – this was great! I am checking out the blog guy and also I love your accent! :)

Thanks everyone. I’m so glad it went over so well. I’ll definitely do some more in the future.
Yes I used Audacity software Yvonne. It was quite easy to learn but getting it onto my blog was a bit of a nightmare. Still it’s all part of the learning experience.
And by the way, Those Gods of Technology did send a thunderbolt my way so the template upgrade will be soon but not very very soon I’m afraid.

Oh this is wonderful Karen! And I could understand every single word – yay! (for me, as a Dutchie, that’s quite something!) I love the personal touch the podcast offers – haven’t had the nerve to do something like this myself (talk about accent!! LOL)
Somehow your voice reminded me of J.K. Rowling :)
My compliments to the management ;) can’t wait to see the new layout!

karooch September 7, 2007 at 9:18 am

Well Antoinette, I didn’t realise I had an accent until I heard this podcast!!!

Rachel September 7, 2007 at 11:27 am

Awesome! Keep em coming!

martin September 7, 2007 at 3:57 pm

My sister has an accent?!?!

Yvonne Russell September 7, 2007 at 4:50 pm

Thanks for the info Karen. I look forward to future podcasts.

corina September 7, 2007 at 5:40 pm

I wanted to do something like some time ago, but I was not sure my english is good enough! This is great! Congratulations for all the members of your team:)

karooch September 7, 2007 at 10:03 pm

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I’ll definitely be doing some more after receiving all this support.
