Does this {my HP PC} have an internal microphone?
That's what I had to find out for the first step on the learning curve to doing podcasts.
If David Lat, who founded Abovethelaw.com, were just starting out today in digital he would have to know podcasting. Actually, he does. Here is the link to the podcast "Book of Business" he co-hosts.
The blogging medium, now mature, is hardly dead. After all, engineer Susan Fowler leveraged hers to dethrone the high and mighty at Uber.
But, blog followers expect a link to a podcast now and then.
More and more help-wanted demand that skill and the links to showcase it. Litigation communications players will have to provide it in their menu of services. Of course, legal marketers better get good at this, quickly.
Okay, I put the question out there. To me that was scary. Since I am not a digital native, most of what's associated with online is scary. For the first 25 minutes.
Within 90 seconds IT genius Ian Billen, based in the Youngstown, Ohio metro area, clicked around my laptop.
He located the internal mic and showed me that the sound was operational but the mike wasn't.
In addition, he confirmed that there was an audio card in the computer.
All those 90 seconds he talked HumanSpeak. I not only got what he said. I didn't feel less-than.
Immediately, Billen outlined several low-cost options for getting the mic working. The choice was mine. No high-pressure sales.
Billen also indicated that I could continue to learn at the Girard Public Library in Girard, OH.
To break through all the unknowns (and terrors) associated with IT, contact Ian Billen at ianbillen@gmail.com. He listens, he diagnoses, he fixes, he trains. The fee is unusually low.
