Lost Remote on BBC Radio 4: The Saddam cellphone video

Steve Safran January 1st, 2007

For those of you interested in the worldwide discussion of the cellphone-shot Saddam hanging video, I was part of a discussion on BBC Radio 4 today. I’ve rigged a pretty ugly podcasting page at podbean. Or you can download here. Which brings me to this question: do you guys know of a good, free podcasting service that allows me to embed the player in WordPress, and has the same ease of sharing as YouTube? I’ve looked all over. If it doesn’t exist, I say we start the company… UPDATE: There is a terrific conversation going on at the BBC show’s blog right now. Very intelligent and provocative. We need to do much more of this in the U.S. Check it out.

    At last, after 4,000 years we have the technology that will free us from the ilegitamate powers of the literate elite. This Sadam incident is a graphic illustration of attempts by politicians and their subservient mouthpieces to write history for themselves.

    Dude, you need to cut back on the drunk posting.

  • 3. Riley  |  January 1st, 2007 at 12:26 pm

    I am going to download it now I just wanted to say I am so glad he was finally taken down. If only we were able to do it more often to more that deserve it…

  • 4. Gary  |  January 1st, 2007 at 2:14 pm

    I don’t know much about podcasting, but surely you Googled “embed podcast” and found that podcast.com features “built-in players which you can embed anywhere on the web?” I’m probably missing something.

  • 5. Gary  |  January 1st, 2007 at 2:46 pm

    And if that doesn’t work, try wildvoice.com. I found that site by searching Digg for “embed podcast.” I’ve found that if you’re looking for something cool, don’t search Google, search Digg.

  • 6. Greg  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:17 pm

    Wordpress has a lote plug-ins that allow you to stream any file and have people listen via flash. Do a search on “wordpress plug-ins”. I really like wp-plugins.net

  • 7. Greg  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:20 pm

    One more thing . . . switchpod.com. Podcast hosting. Free. file has to be no bigger than 250MB.

    “Above post” lote = a lot

  • 8. Steve Safran  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:23 pm

    Thanks Gary & Greg. Good hunting, so I checked them out.

    As near as I can tell, Podcast.com has the players but doesn’t allow you to upload and host. wildvoice allows the upload and, indeed the embed, but not the ability to allow others to embed your piece easily. (Again, as near as I can tell. You have to go pretty deep on some of these sites to get those kinds of instructions.)

    I’m looking for the audio equivalent of YouTube. Free, easy upload, hosting, sharing and the ability to share an embedded player.

    If this doesn’t exist, I say we all pitch in and start one…

  • 9. Kerry  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:32 pm

    I’ve had a good run with http://www.libsyn.com, it’s not free but it’s damn cheap. Not sure about the embedded player, but do you want to embed one player which automatically changes to the current podcast? Or just a player which embeds the episode you specify? If it’s the latter, go with LibSyn… You can link to the files via http, meaning you’ll just need to do a Media Player embed on your post.

  • 10. Jim Smith  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:34 pm

    We use a WP plugin called PodPress. It works great. I haven’t checked to see if it will work with the file remotely hosted, but it might.

  • 11. Emery  |  January 1st, 2007 at 3:49 pm

    Here are you options:

    Post it on utube. Yes I know that it’s for video. Nobody likes talking heads. Add a few graphics related to your subject and it can pass for video… The graphics can be talking points to reinforce what you are saying at the time. Embed te utube player when you post.. and your done.

    Or we can host it on a a high bandwidth helix server for you. Email for details on how it won’t cost you a cent…. and that’s along the lines of building an audio player. We’ve already got one that can be customized.

  • 12. Photog on Fire  |  January 1st, 2007 at 4:18 pm

    Emery beat me to the use “youtube” as an audio player idea. Why not?

  • 13. Gary  |  January 1st, 2007 at 5:09 pm

    Replicate my Google search and you’ll find other sites, though the players I saw looked a little ugly.

  • 14. Steve Safran  |  January 1st, 2007 at 6:23 pm

    I thought about the GooTube option, but that’s not really podcasting. I’d like to start offering regular podcasts on LR - ones that people can download, get thru iTunes, share on their own sites or listen to on our page.

    It’s hard for me to believe this doesn’t exist! I think I smell a business model…

  • 15. Amanda  |  January 1st, 2007 at 7:17 pm

    There are podcasting plugins for Wordpress (PodPress I think it is called), and all a podcast consists of is a a simple MP3, something you can create easily create with QuickTime Pro on your mac. Only additional item you’ll need is quite a bit of bandwidth.

    I’ve already dug into all this some time ago for a couple of my customers and it doesn’t cost much to get into it (just $29.95 for the QuickTime Pro key - and if you have any real video editing packages on your machine, you probably got the pro version already)

  • 16. Ed Iglehart  |  January 1st, 2007 at 7:36 pm

    Glad you found the BBC experience enjoyable. I enjoyed your contribution, and though I’m among those who can’t be bothered to watch the video, I agree it adds to documentation, although, as noted by one BBC blog commentor, it’s wonderful food for conspiracists.

    I am glad that Mad Mary posted the extract from Riverbend’s blog, which I commend to one and all.

    Keep visiting the BBC pages for at least some integrity.

    If your goal is succinctly described in your post at 6:23pm yesterday, isn’t podshow.com a solution?

  • 18. Lissa Cook, PM Programme Blog Editor  |  January 2nd, 2007 at 8:41 am

    How kind!!! Thanks for the link. Happy New Year. It was my day off yesterday recovering from the previous evening’s festivities. I’ll listen back. Lissa

    May I apologise for my Sadam/camera comment. Stumbling into the ‘Podcasters’ cave with this notion was inappropriate
