About the Presentation
Podcasting has emerged as an important aspect of the Web 2.0 world,  
and several usability professionals have shared a tremendous wealth of  
information through this new medium. Taking examples from some of  
Jared Spool’s podcasts (SpoolCast and Usability Tools Podcast), we’ll  
examine how the do’s and don’ts in the primarily visual domain of  
usability translate in the auditory podcasting arena. We’ll also  
examine what makes an audio file qualify as a podcast, as well as how  
to subscribe to valuable content for little effort and no cost.
