He talks about the conference, special guests from the UK including Professor Richard Berry, Craig Wheland and Spanish podcast companies like iVoox, Spreaker and more.      OUR THEME: "THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO 'MMM' How do you match your message to your market? Is it all about improving the engagement with your existing community/market? Is it worth adopting and improving on the messaging used by your competitors, using their style to attract attention in THEIR market and win over new customers from them? We organised for Stephen to attend the London IBM Media and Telco Event in mid October. He talks about what we can learn from what the industry leaders are doing - and about how he seemed to be the only person there using the opportunity to do some DIY media-making. We talk about increasing responses to your YouTube videos. It’s a free and simple tweak and just needs some easy changes to the way you use your custom thumbnail image. We wrap up our ‘MMM’ discussion at the end of this  episode with an in-depth exploration of the comparisons and contrasts between the adverts for the new Microsoft Surface Studio and that for the Apple MacBook Pro. Have a look at the ads and compare them. See what you think.   THINGS WE MENTION We recorded this podcast a bit later that usual so that we could include news of two important industry launch events: the Microsoft Surface Studio and Apple's latest Macbook Pro. What do these top-end devices offer that’s of any relevance to us DIY media-makers? And even if we win one in a contest, are they actually of any practical use? Spreaker launches a new Content Management System (CMS). It offers some much-needed and interesting media-embedding features. The latest iTunes UK Podcast Charts. Is ‘My Dad Wrote A Porno’ still top of the pops (if you pardon the expression)? Twitter shuts its short social video  app Vine. Turns out that 6 seconds doesn’t last for ever. Who knew? Her Majesty’s government is advertising on podcasts and The New Statesman podcast is their podcast of choice. Caroline Crampton, assistant editor at this left-leaning UK publication (which makes lots of other podcasts too) recently launched a new podcast criticism column and has a very interesting article on why you should be podcasting. While we don’t mention it by name, the new social audio app on the block is 60dB by Tiny Garage Labs. It’s available via iTunes and soon via the Amazon echo. In our opinion, it’s a great example of a Social Audio app and it’s NOT a podcast app. You can read about the differences on TechCrunch which makes it clear that 60dB is still worth checking out. We refer to SMAB.audio, a new Spanish-based app. It’s in testing and offers really useful potential for enhancing social audio and podcasts by linking with and embedding relevant multimedia.   STATS OF THE MONTH Libsyn reports some profound news. Podcast and social audio listening on Android devices is now at a similar level to those listening on Apple devices. Mobile media-consumption keeps growing: almost 80% of listening, downloading etc is now via mobile devices Attention spans are now apparently 8 seconds, only 1 sec more than a goldfish's. That's how long it takes to decide whether to pursue or ignore an email, post, etc. It sounds alarming but this article provides some very useful context to the original findings.   PODCASTS WE'RE LISTENING TO Kyle is still enjoying 'Building Nextcast' as well as James Cridland's 'Radio Futurologist' about the UK radio industry.   LOOKING AHEAD Podfest Multimedia Expo (#PME17) (Orlando, Florida USA over the last weekend of Feb 2017).

Autumn is here and so is the rush of invitations to end-of-year trade shows, annual conferences and AGMs. The focus of the show is on new and effective ways of making media while you're there. Our special guest is writer, producer, director and documentary-maker Kieran Conlon of Realta Films. With over 25 years experience as an independent filmmaker, he has specialized in providing video content for Arts organizations such as the Guildhall School of Music and The Royal Society of the Arts and is also  a visiting lecturer in the Documentary BA course at The  University of the Arts in London. As usual, the show is hosted by Kyle Hannan, founder of Ecomedia Collective, co-hosted by online marketing consultant and author Stephen C Campbell and we’re joined by regular contributor Peter Brill of Net Mentor.   THINGS WE MENTION An amazingly useful and podcaster-friendly free live streaming video service suddenly vanishes. Yep,  BLAB IS DEAD. But we always had Google Live Hangouts on Air, didn't we? Well, that is ALSO history as it’s now being moved into YouTube Live. Here’s the official FAQ from YouTube. Even Snapchat is no more - but don’t panic: they’ve simply changed its name to SNAP. Our guest Kieran Conlon talks about some of the DIY Media-making things he’s seeing people doing when they come to his lectures. What do people need to know when making their own media that will really help them as they develop? He mentions a century-old seminal documentary called Nanook Of The North We also go through the official iTunes UK Podcast charts Peter Brill talks about his new charity project Mobiloo.   THIS WEEK’S TOPIC “ON WITH THE SHOWS” We’ve gone and got Stephen invited to a huge IMB Media and Telecomms conference in London so it’s a good time to discuss how we as DIY media-makers can make use of these events and industry shows. We’re there to not only network effectively but also to connect with influencers or new prospects as interviewees for our own platforms as we create content for our own property (website, blog, channel etc) and more?   PODCASTS WE’RE LISTENING TO Breaking news!

EPISODE 13: "YEARNING, LEARNING, EARNING".  SHOW SUMMARY what's it like to study media-making at a UK university how does this compare to how we learned to make media in the pre-WWW era? what does the billionth iPhone mean for DIY media-makers? how did Ben Royston reach almost 4 million people with just two tweets? and more... It’s Summer here in the UK, which means school’s off. It also means that our new academic year starts this September for thousands of new media students across the country. Their media degrees (they hope) will prepare them for a career in this age of hypermedia. So we thought it made sense to sit down with someone who's just BEEN through all of that. In this podcast we meet a recent media graduate and talk about how his degree has prepared him for a career in media-making. What did he learn and how did he feel it prepared him for what awaited him in the real world?   SHOW HOSTS Hosted by Kyle Hannan, founder of Ecomedia Collective Co-hosted by online marketing consultant and author Stephen C Campbell Contributor Ben Royston of Bristol Marketing and BenRoyston.com. He is also leads Online Communications at IF Group Bristol , Ben updates us on media-making trends in the world of Premier League football, Eurovision and Apple. Our guest Liam Mason is a recent University media graduate who now works as a freelancer and volunteers for various local media businesses including the BBC.  YEARNING: what did he want to do and what did he expect/know before choosing his degree? LEARNING: what was on the syllabus  and how did they teach it? EARNING: how effectively did it prepare him for his post-Uni ‘real world’ experience in finding a career opening in media-making?   TALKING POINTS (Warning for non-sports fans:there are two minutes of deep football-related conversation at 10m30sec). Ben uses the Over video editor. There are others so see a list of free video editing programmes for desktops here. Techradar has just put their own list together here. He creates images for social media using Magic Eraser for iPhone and iPad. There's a great video tutorial online and you can download the app at the usual places. Remember to check your stats. Learn how to use free Google Analytics to measure engagement on your media. Check out the iTunes UK Podcast Charts  with the top-ranked UK podcast being My Dad Wrote a Porno The billionth iPhone has been sold - AND THE NEXT ONE WON'T HAVE A HEADPHONE JACK! (APPARENTLY) We talk about local radio station Bristol Community FM, changes to the awesome Facebook Live  , and the rumoured billion-dollar 'for sale' sign up at Soundcloud. We also mention free audio-social network AudioBoom  plus, we get our teeth into DIY media-making across the decades as we compare our experiences as students of learning and using tech and digital media across the 80s, 90s and Noughties.    PODCASTS WE LIKE Stephen can't get enough of Joe Polish "I Love Marketing"  Liam listens to 'Stuff You Should Know'  and "Love + Radio" Kyle listens to the Sean Wes podcast   SOCIAL AUDIO EVENT CALENDAR Some of the leading social audio and podcast-related events coming up over the next few months include: Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference September 9-10 (Greater Philadelphia Area) Swedesboro, NJ, USA  London Podcast Festival 2016 from 22–26 Sept at Kings Place Arts & Conference Centre in York Way, London  International Podcast Day, Sept 30th This podcast is recorded in Bristol at PRSC Studios and is brought to you by Ecomedia Collective cic.  

 EPISODE 12 “Legacy Schmegacy:   here today, gone tomorrow” Above and beyond:  how a business/media-maker can remain unbiased and rise above the controversy of the day without being seen as 'out of touch' what does the popularity of 'time limited media/now you see them, now you don't' platforms like Snapchat offer a brand or media maker. As we're no longer creating posts and media that can be archived, how do we use them effectively - especially without the typical 'feedback loops' we're used to with other platforms. Goodbye EU, goodbye Glastonbury, goodbye team England at the Euro 2016 - hello Summer (sometime) but Wimbledon is here and that brings us into a very interesting conversation later as the organisation says it was adopting Snapchat as a way to reach younger audiences   Show Hosts Hosted by Kyle Hannan, founder of Ecomedia Collective co-hosted by online marketing consultant and author Stephen C Campbel Contributor Peter Brill of Netmentor on what's new in the world of DIY comms and PR tips   What’s New in the world of UK podcasting and social audio?  Well done to New Media Europe which wrapped up in mid June 2016: It’s the European new media conference about podcasting, blogging, video, social media, marketing, online business and more. It also featured the UK podcast awards ceremony which yoiu can now see for free online. There’s also a paid virtual ticket which gives access to recordings of all the NMEU 2016 sessions.   TALKING POINT: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ‘BREXIT’ (DON’T WE?) Above and beyond the call of ‘Brexit”, we talk about how a business/media-maker can remain unbiased and rise above the controversy du jour without being seen as 'out of touch' with the zeitgeist. How can they still offer some angle, insight and something of value which ‘clicks’ with their audience? The Three Step Process: Before posting we suggest you: pause and take a breath before you post think about if/how your post would benefit your audience ask yourself whether your post could come back to haunt you. MAIN TOPIC: HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW The popularity of SNAPCHAT has now added a new reality to the way we make media: when we’re NOT leaving a legacy. It disappears after a few minutes. So what makes your Snapchat media-making different to everything else? The FT has THIS article about how Snapchat is becoming more popular. What’s New? Free Tools and Resources for DIY media-makers  Microsoft confirms they’re working with Snapchat to bring it to Windows 10 Mobile, coming ”soon” Free suite of Tools to Create Social Media Visuals and more. We've often raved about Canva and PicMonkey, two of the main tools people use on their computers, have evolved over the years. However, some new visual content creation tools  offer even more options. We mention several , including Relay and Designfeed but the big news is the free Adobe Spark suite. It launched just two months ago and allows you to create different types of visuals: posts, pages, and videos.  Peter has discovered MuseScore which makes music scores and midi files for his musical endeavours. He also relies on the paid WonderShare file converter to change media file formats to suit the different projects he works on. Stephen is still a fan of the preloaded video editors that come with the computers he’s bought. He uses the free Windows Movie Maker and Apple’s iMovle and also uses online file converters like Zamzar Kyle mentioned the slightly under-the-radar Youtube Movie Creator. Podcasts We Mention “Open For Business” is a new podcast series by US-based Gimlet Media and made in association with eBay. The New Media Europe podcast is also out there… We also talk about the Stateside divide between the established podcast community and the newer advertiser/Public Radio/measurement consulting indsutry LOOKING AHEAD: What’s Coming Up in the DIY Media-Making world?
