About 10 years ago (See blog posts around 2008 or search "broadcast") I was
involved in doing a program called Access Utah Now. Access Utah Now
was a interview show I get almost weekly for about a year. I love
doing this show. I would interview, usually, an executive director of
one of the local private nonprofit agencies or programs or state
programs which assisted people with disabilities are in some cases
low income. The format was half hour show whenever I could talk to
folks into coming to the office for an interview. We are very low
budget of course I was the talent in my other operator was the
technical side. The operator was Tory and she was great and when Tory
quit I had our office executive assistant act as the technician. I
used a program I found on the Internet which allows you to broadcast
through your computer camera. I surprised myself and everyone else
our staff at how many of us as I headed up broadcasting it was kind
of a high point of my employment life actually. I even got an award
from the state which I know is hokey and I forgot all about it until
last week when I went over my resume I pulled out for the theater
application for work.
Yesterday when I was in
the park sketching enjoying the sunshine I begin pondering an idea
which I thought might be fun. I was thinking I could do a
broadcast/podcast about my life as it is these days not dissimilar to
Meadowlarks Mind except rather than the written form the podcast
would be of course video so maybe it would be a podcast is much
videocast I don't know if that makes that much difference the point
when the I would be broadcasting again. The technology has greatly
increased for doing such an event. When we get a Access Utah with
other cutting-edge using a laptop computer for the camera. The office
actually got us a laptop
specifically for a Access Utah. Nowadays you certainly can't use a
laptop but you can also use your cell phone are your tablet which
will provide good quality feed. I would just need some support to
help with the project. I'm thinking that maybe drafting some of the
folks here at the apartments to hold the camera if I should elect a
do a broadcast. I suppose I could figure out a way to prop the
camera/tablet in such a way to allow me to do the podcast. Oh, and
the broadcasts are now called podcasts. Before I used a broadcast
service called Ustream.tv. It was a remarkably simple operation and
what I really liked was a catalog all of my broadcasts. The only bad
part was after I'd stopped broadcasting I think they ended up dumping
all my shows. Some people have told me the shows are still out there
somewhere but I have not been able to find them and Ustream does not
seem to have that either. It's not that I really want to watch any of
these productions again except for amusement or to share with other
people.
Don't
know how seriously I'm going to pursue
Mark In The Park but
the project is something fun to think about and I will think about
it. If not just for the summer to see where it goes…
