HW4
Create a podcast up to 5 minutes in length about whatever topic you like. This can be you and a partner discussing current events, your favorite movies, whatever you like. You could even record you or your friend’s band rehearsing or previewing their latest hit. Its entirely up to you!
Once recorded, post your .mp3 and the appropriate RSS file up on your web server of choice. You’ll submit a link to your RSS file that we can all try subscribing to with our favorite RSS reader (eg. iTunes, Google Reader, whatever).
You should be able to try this yourself, so you’ll know if you’re RSS file is correct. Have this completed and posted as a comment by Tuesday, April 14th.
