The International Board created the project at the Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic and this is the tenth series of articles. We would like to offer a new category for you to explore − PODCASTS!
We encourage you to give a listen to the many offerings out there and gain from the knowledge of others. Remember, all articles will remain on the PBM International website as a resource for directors, so please share and consult the previous submissions under the EO archives.
Podcast − From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia − A podcast is an episodic series of digital audio files that a user can download to a personal device for easy listening. Streaming applications and podcasting services provide a convenient and integrated way to manage a personal consumption queue across many podcast sources and playback devices. A podcast series usually features one or more recurring hosts engaged in a discussion about a particular topic or current event. Discussion and content within a podcast can range from carefully scripted to completely improvised.
