What is podcasting, why is it important to me, and how can I get in on it? Jerry Franklin
will answer these questions by presenting a brief overview of podcasting in the corporate
world, also including a few examples of how podcasts are being used to deliver technical
information.
Jerry will spend most of the presentation providing an overview and high-level tutorial
on Audacity, the free audio editing software that has enabled many people both with and
without technical backgrounds to engineer and produce their own podcasts.

public software company, PeopleSoft, where he managed content for www.peoplesoft.com before

certified dog trainer. Their podcast, The Good Dog Show, may be found at www.dogworks.libsyn.com.
He also has a professional background in both broadcast journalism and music which, unbeknownst
to Jerry at the time, helped prepare him to be a podcaster. Jerry belongs to the STC, the IEEE

Media Expo in Ontario, California, and at the International Online Podcasting Expo. He will also
be making this presentation at the STC National Convention in Minneapolis in May. Jerry lives in
