Well, it’s a New Year. Time to sober up from the holidays and get on with the next season of the #WordCountPodcast!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the off-season, a few of the irregulars (what the participants of the show call themselves) and I discussed\u00a0were a few tweaks to the show. \u00a0I thought we’d try them out to see how things go.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry! The podcast is still free and free of ads!<\/p>\n

The first change is that we will be using different sort of prompts for the show. First, is a picture. For this month:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next we will be using the month the show is produced in, in this case\u00a0January<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now for the last bit. I’m trying out a new format for the recording of the show. I’m using AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) in stead of the old “Audio-Only” MP3 encoding for the podcast. This allows me to add photos and chapters (among other things) to the podcast. I’ll still post the audio-only version on the site, but I want to see what the feedback is. After all…we are using a visual prompt.<\/p>\n

So please, give the show a listen and let us know what your experience is. I’m still getting the “technology hang” of this new format…so apologies in advance for any growing pains.<\/p>\n

You can listen to the show via iTunes<\/strong><\/a><\/span> or Libsyn<\/strong><\/span>. Here is an embedded\u00a0player, if you prefer:<\/p>\n
