Podcaster extraordinaire Jennifer Navarrete has been encouraging me to start podcasting for years now. Whenever we are in the same offline place, I usually end up doing an impromptu interview with her through which she shows me the new and easy way she’s podcasting.
The last time we had this conversation was at the Blog Elevated conference, where she showed me how to use SoundCloud on my smartphone to record and upload a one-take podcast. And then I didn’t do it. Again.
Tonight I passed along her recommendation to other friends, posting the attached sound clip from the convenience of Taqueria Arandas and showing off how easy it actually is.
And now I’m thinking… maybe I need to actually listen to my friend Jennifer and record more… the desire is there. Let’s see if I follow through.
