This is the first in a new series of podcasts, CFNews_Radio, where in my spare time I'll be producing a weekly show that summarizes recent news and events regarding ColdFusion including hot threads in the CF Community, interesting projects or topics in the blogosphere, user group events, and articles from Macromedia including those from the Devnet center, Security Zone, and technotes.

Since this is the first of the series, I'll reach back more than a week, but in general these podcasts will try to stay current.

This week's show includes:

Where to find information on the Adobe proposal to acquire Macromedia
Hot threads from CFTalk
COAL
ACME
BlogCFM, BlogFusion, BlogCFC
New houseoffusion.com lists
Recent Macromedia ColdFusion Devnet articles
ColdFusion MX Security Bulletins
ColdFusion MX 7 Cumulative Hotfix 2
CFUNITED 2005
Online ColdFusion Meetup Group

To subscribe to the CFNews_Radio you can set your podcast-enabled blog aggregator such as iPodder or Feed Demon to the ColdFusion Podcast RSS 2.0 feed.

To learn more about how to get your blog aggregator to update your iPod with these news feeds, check out What is Podcasting on iPodder.org, or this article, Receive Podcasts Using Your PC.

Steven,

Just finished listening, good work! I like the initiative you`ve put into this, and I look forward to a lot more!

Now some constructive criticism, places I can see you getting better at :)

1) It sounds like you read it off of a sheet of paper, drilling straight down, top to bottom. Relax, we`re not in a hurry. Be casual.

2) Rustle some papers like it`s a new news article - lol - "this just in...". It`s like my ears are begging for some noises or something.

3) Could use a little music at the beginning & end. It`s your show, so, any music at all would be great.

4) Maybe some more personal info to get us involved in you and, in turn, your show.

5) I`d like to suggest some interviews, whoever`s nearby or maybe live over breeze. Would make it interesting. A co-anchor might liven it up, too.

Nathan, Thanks! That`s just the kind of helpful criticism I was hoping for. Recording your own voice definitely feels weird, and I hope to relax a bit with more practice. I was searching the sound clips and music archives for royalty free stuff to add. I found some interesting computer-typing clips and mixed it with a cool lead-in that sounded like a radio show from the 1940`s or something, but just as I got started recording I noticed that the clip rate was 11Mhz and my recording rate was 44Mhz, so I decided to bail on sound effects and just get to the news. I hope to have that worked out next time. And when I get a few under my belt and some interest builds up, I`ll try to wrangle some interviews too.

Thanks again!

Can you add a link to the MP3 file in your blog entry? I like listening to blogs without using my iPod or any of the readers... just by clicking a link.

I believe that a lot of people do that.

Great stuff. My only complaint is essentialy the same as a previous post. The paperclip icon is so subtle, that I stared at the web page for 5 minutes before I spotted it!

Also, the paperclip image is 16x16 pixels, but the HTML is hardcoding it down to 12x12. Depending on where the image lands on the browser, the paperclip renders as an upsidedown U or a gray blur.

Oh cool, I`ll post this over at DMXzone/CFzone.

Hit me up, I started a WebDevDesign Podcast (Macromedia/Adobe/Web Development & Design), so I would like to keep dialog open so I don`t overlapp too much since I can mention a topic and plug your Podcast.

Glad more Podcasts like this are coming out. :)
