The new Mikey G2 Pro iPod, iPhone Microphone from Blue looks like a good item to add. It’s supposed to be available soon. The all-new Mikey is the perfect tool for mobile recording. Featuring two …
Another Farm Podcaster Recorder
I haven’t really heard much from Tascam lately until today. Those of us who grew up in broadcasting know them well though. Now they’ve got a new tool to make the farm podcaster drool. It’s the DR-1.

Buckeye Agriblogging Farm Podcaster
The Buckeye Ag Radio Network (The BARN) is about to turn 1 year old so I interviewed one of the “Hired Hands,” Andy Vance to find out how it’s going. He and his wife and partner, Lindsay, have created a very nice farm media company that blends the old with the new.

Becoming an Influencer and Content Producer
I remember the first time my conference name badge said “Influencer” instead of “Media.” It was the 2017 Bayer Future of Farming Dialogue in Germany.

Scott Vernon has set up a double session for faculty and students titled, “Exploring the New Media: Using Podcasts to Drive Your Message and Expand Your Reach.” This is going to be fun.

Talk to my iPod
You don’t have to be a farm podcaster to appreciate what the Griffin iTalk Pro lets you do with your Nano or iPod. Finally there’s a tool that lets you easily record onto the iPod.
It has built in microphones or you can plug in an external microphone. This allows you to also plug into a mult-box at a press conference too.
