RSS iTunes Podcast no No Serialized RSS http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/11/28/serialized-rss/ http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/11/28/serialized-rss/#comments Tue, 28 Nov 2006 12:39:36 +0000 rob http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/11/28/serialized-rss/ I’ve talked about some easy autoresponders before. Now I’ve found a service called FeedCycle that will publish serialized RSS feeds.

This is good. I’ve not tried it yet though. A TechCrunch article explains:

If you are telling a multi-part story, or communicating a segmented message over time, you should give FeedCycle a look. Publishers can use FeedCycle to create publication schedules and intervals; all subscribers then start by receiving the first item in a feed regardless of when they subscribe and future items are delivered at the intervals determined by the publisher. Text, audio and video podcasts can all be scheduled and delivered with FeedCycle.

This is another way to open the door to a follow-up series, Bible study series, or even story-telling series leading up to a climax decision point.

If you sign up for podcasts in iTunes or subscribe to a RSS feed in a reader, you’ve probably already experienced this potential downside of starting a new subscription: you get all the old items along with the new ones. That isn’t always bad, but if it’s a series you may not want that to happen. This service seems to help take away that potential problem.

Dream a little. How could you use a podcast, vodcast, or text blog series for a ministry application? Now you can control the release of each episode via email and RSS.

is some Christian apologist / speaker doing a particularly effective job creating evangelistic and apologetics-based audio resources?

Do you know of any?

I hope it’s decent enough.

If I continue with this, I’m thinking of doing a short series on “Getting the Most Out of the Internet”. Today is about a few free programs you can download to keep your computer clean and running well.

Have a listen and leave a comment.

Podcast no No Geeks & God Podcast http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/19/geeks-god-podcast/ http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/19/geeks-god-podcast/#comments Tue, 19 Sep 2006 18:39:57 +0000 rob http://www.eministrynotes.com/2006/09/19/geeks-god-podcast/ geeksgod_podcastA few weeks ago I started listing to a podcast called Geeks & God. It’s not bad. A little geeky to be sure (some of it I didn’t get — which is also why I don’t consider myself a geek; but then again here I am blogging about a podcast that I like that is self-titled “Geek”. Whoa, I’ve been tangential too long here. Sorry.)

As I was saying, it’s not a bad podcast. When you download it weekly, prepare about 45 minutes to listen to it all though. They recently started talking about blogging.

Though I’d prefer to listen to something less geeky, this is a decent podcast for you, uh, geeks.

What other Podcasts are you listening to?

Anyone heard of it? Anyone tried it? This could be really interesting especially for writing ministry-related presentations: gospel presentations, personal testimonies, apologetics articles, bible studies…

What do you think?

Did you know you can learn to speak Chinese via podcast?

I did a little search in iTunes for others and found some on Spanish. I stopped searching after that but I bet there are a ton of these free resources out there.

Well, looks like with a little discipline and time, we can really step up our effectiveness in ministry by learning another language.

Thanks, James.
