Orienteering podcast

[duncan b]

I was wondering if anyone had thought of making an orienteering podcast? What are your views?

[helen]

not a bad idea actually...not quite sure what would be talked about...except the latest discussions on nopesport maybe?

next project for the boys - [nope] podcast?

There are a couple already - I thought there weren't any, and wrote about it, then someone commented about OrienteeringOrange and OSNow.

I think a video podcast for training would be a great idea - the video part would be a "moving map" while the podcaster/orienteer talks through the best route choices... Kind of like this clip by Patrick of T5T.

that, was brilliant

I agree 100% Mharky

"This is orienteering, running with a map, lookin' like a goof..."

yeah my podcasts wern't great, just letting people know what was going on with ShUOC training. I stopped mainly because they didnt sound that great and i had my dissertation to hand in...

anyone got any good software ideas for the video podcasts? i'm interested... - audacity is one of the best and FREE programs for audio editing...just dont know about video editing?

Windows movie maker is actually surprisingly good. FREE with all copies of windows xp.

how about for *.mov files (i.e. quicktime) as the windows one isnt compatible with those...

I had ideas of reviewing british events and a few major international ones, maybe with interviews with the elite and a few orienteering tips.

Mat, unfortunately you currently need a mac to build video podcasts. The format is based on apple only quicktime.

Fair play, its just my Olympus μ-Digital camera takes *.mov movies and i cant really be bothered to change every film with quicktime i've got on my PC into a mpg or avi.

if anyone else has any ideas then just PM me.

Cheers.

If people are interested in the interview type Podcast then I am within a mile of the SYO/ShUOC heartland and could easily get to some of the best Elite runners in the UK - Crane, Elder, Johnson, Baker, Winskill, Northrop etc.
