One question, does podcasting in any way affect the legality of publishing your manuscript later? (e.g., if your short story is published in a journal--even a very small one--my understanding is it cannot be published again in another journal). Thanks! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15378#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15378#Comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:37:51 GMT Jonathan B. Singer grammar Grammar girl - fabulous content. I host and produce a social work podcast and agree 100% with your tips. I've recommended this specific episode to a number of my colleagues in academia who are thinking about podcasting. I can talk with folks about how I podcast, but I think they will "hear" it differently listening to your clear, organized, and practical podcast. On a different topic, I've been recommending your podcast to my social work students for the last year. Thank you for answering their questions for me :-).

As I wrote it, "outro" did strike me as a word some people may object to. It's jargon, but it's what we call the closing comments of an audio program. It actually is in the dictionary, but it's listed as "informal." http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15259#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15259#Comments Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:57:46 GMT Grammar Girl grammar Hi, John. Oxford University Press added the word "podcast" to the Oxford English Dictionary this month. I would have said it was a word even if they hadn't added it, but now I believe I can even say that it's officially a word. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15258#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15258#Comments Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:54:28 GMT John from Lorain grammar Here are the first words of this program: "Grammar Girl here. This is a podcast that talks about writing ...". In those words, I find one error and one of my pet peeves. The latter is the supposed word, "podcast." There IS no such thing (to a normal speaker of English). People can't just invent words whenever they want to do so. A "pod" is a term from botany. It has nothing to do with computer-related programs, and the word "broadcast" should not be butchered by having a misused syllable (pod-) stapled into it. Now, stepping off the soapbox, let's look at the error. Assuming that there is such a thing as a "podcast," it cannot "talk about writing." Only a human being can "talk about writing," not a "podcast." Thank you. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15255#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15255#Comments Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:42:27 GMT Craig grammar "Outro"? Do we ever "outroduce" somebody to someone else? Is it too late to add this to the 2008 pet peeve list? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15245#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/how-to-podcast-a-book.aspx?commentid=15245#Comments Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:46:22 GMT Dora E. H. Crow grammar This podcast advice is just what I needed, as I have recently been considering creating audios of my book. Awhile back I did post a few videos on YouTube of myself reading the book aloud, but that was quite time consuming and I was getting tired of seeing my own face! Your post (with Scott's tips) has inspired me to get to work on my recordings!
