I'm a big proponent of using PowerPress by Blubrry for podcasting. Why? Well, there are a lot of great reasons. Let's start with what I call "no brainer" reasons.
First, PowerPress formats your feeds for iTunes and Google play. That means you don't have to create a separate feed either manually or with other software. You just paste the URL of your media in the right spot and voila, your podcast feed is updated.
It also provides a customizable players for both video and audio. There may be other ways to have a player on your site to play your content, but this is a really nice way to do it.

Some people claim that selflessness isn't possible. I disagree.
I think it's possible, but unless there's no other choice, selfless actions should be sustainable. Imagine that you neglect your basic needs in order to help others. In the short term, you might help a lot, but over the long haul, you might actually limit the good you could have done because you won't be able to keep up the pace.
This is why the airlines instruct you to take care of your needs before those around you if the oxygen masks drop. Without care for yourself, you're actually endangering both yourself and the one you're trying to help.
There are situations where this can't be helped, but there's no honor in sacrificing yourself when you could build a team and accomplish the same goal. If there is no choice, do what must be done, but if there is, help on a sustainable level.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech Help for Churches, Twitter: Spam, Bacon, and Steak -- Which type of account do you have? | Tech Help for Churches
There are three types of accounts: Spam, bacon, and steak. Broadly speaking, they're different based on who they're focussed on. A spam account is solely focussed on the spammer. He wonders how he can get more and more money out of you for himself. A bacon account is a bit of a hybrid. Usually it's a small-business person who just doesn't quite understand social media and is targeting the wrong people. It might be an account where it provides some value, but it's either mostly advertising or split 50/50. Steak accounts are all about giving. The steak tweep tries to figure out ways to help with only an occasional ask.
[tweet "Try and make your twitter account one which gives much, much more than you ask."]
Try and make your twitter account like this. Try and make it a giving account which only asks on occasion.

Here are today's questions:
DM on CTL:
I am about to start a project that will involve quite a bit of interview-style videos. I am wondering what you all recommend in terms of lav vs. shotgun. I have used a shotgun (both mounted on the camera as well as on a boom pole) but I have never used a wireless lav before. I am about to make the purchase of either a wireless system or a quality boom. What have you found to give the best sound?
LA on g+
Here's a question for the community, I was going to send it to one of the podcasts about podcasting, but decided to post it here instead:

On today's Tech, No Babel: Live-streaming: Basic video for your live-stream part 2
A lot of beginning videographers get mesmerized by the variety of transitions you can do. For the vast majority of productions, you should limit them to two: cut and cross-dissolve. Of those, the cut should be used 95-99% of the time.

So, if you need to send a midi note, start and audio or media playlist, clear a layer, change the Look, change the stage display, or a handful of other tasks, actions might just be the thing for you.
