I’ve been watching that new television show I-Caught again. I’ve watched three shows so far, and each time I watch it my head starts to buzz with ideas of things that I or my husband could do on the internet.
My latest idea revolves around my husband. As you might remember we purchased an HD video camera for him about a month and a half ago when I got my new digital SLR camera. The plan for his blog, Guitar Licks, has always been to include video guitar lessons. Now I’m expanding that thought.
I was thinking that maybe we could find a free podcast site to upload his videos to, but instead of just doing guitar lessons he could talk about various types of music and different types of guitars and equipment. Very niche obviously, but I’m pretty sure he’d enjoy doing the videos and he’s a fantastic musician with a lot of knowledge to share so those interested in watching his videos would get something out of it.
Another idea that I had involves podcasts or internet radio type shows. There’s a few bloggers that I know doing these regular weekly shows now and I think Chris would be very good at it. Perhaps I’d join him. Hmmm the Chris and Trish show?
Sure I know for the videos we could just upload to YouTube, but I think if we uploaded the video podcasts to a podcast site with a community built around it the content he’d create would be picked up easier and perhaps build a following.
Do any of you do video or regular podcasts? Which sites do you use? How about internet radio shows or weekly broadcast type sites?
BTW did any of you submit your three words to i-caught? I think that’s a great feature. We didn’t get around to it what with my family reunion keeping us busy but I hope to make a submission in a day or so.

You should implement YouTube channel in a regular manner, I use Google Reader to watch my favorite YouTube channels and I would love to see all your episodes thru my RSS aggregator working with your feed://www.youtube.com/rss/user/yourchannelname/videos.rss
