The first Folk Festival podcast is now online at www.zetcast.com and www.sffpodcast.blogspot.com

 

From the Shetland Times -

The Shetland Folk Festival can now be enjoyed all over the globe, all year round thanks to ZetCast.com and sffpodcast.blogspot.com. The online broadcasting networks are going to be publishing exclusive live recordings of the festival over the next few months as podcasts.

 

The first official Shetland Folk Festival show is now available on Zetcast.com and sffpodcat.blogspot.com. Jimmy Carlyle and Marvin Smith present the programme, which features top visiting artists Terrafolk and Crooked Still. The podcast features exclusive recordings from the Ollaberry Hall on the opening night of the festival. The series of shows will feature highlights from this year’s festival and will give listeners the chance to relive the sounds of the festival.

 

Podcasting is a new form of broadcasting on the internet. Podcasts are similar in style to radio shows but the advantage to the listener is that you can listen on demand. No more do you need to be a slave to a broadcasting schedule and never again will you miss your favourite programme – podcasts are available 24/7 and you have the choice of what shows you listen to.

 

To listen to the shows visit the websites – www.zetcast.com and www.sffpodcast.blogspot.com. You can either listen to the podcasts on the websites as you browse around the Internet or download the podcast file to your computer to listen to later on. If you download the podcast you can use any piece of software that can play mp3 files the most common players being Windows Media Player and Winamp. You can transfer the shows on to your mp3 player or burn then to a cdr and listen to them in the car on your way to work.

 

You can also look for the podcast in iTunes using the Podcast Directory and doing a search for Shetland. By using iTunes you can setup a subscription to the podcast, this means that whenever a new podcast is released you will get it delivered to you when you open up the podcast part of the iTunes.

 

The sffpodcast.blogspot.com website hosts preview podcasts for both the 2006 and 2007 festivals and some live recordings from 2006 from Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan and Elana James. These recordings are also available on zetcast.com which features various locally produced podcasts covering blues, dance and local music. Zetcast is open to anyone who wishes to create podcasts of any description, it doesn’t have to be about music.
