When I first posted my creative podcasting ideas back in September, I was just thinking through ways that Compass Church could use podcasting to its fullest potential. I was surprised, however, when that post took on a small life all its own.Here’s some of what’s happened to “the little post that could” since then:
- Terry Storch graciously mentioned it on Blogging Church, and the traffic to my blog and that post in particular, went way up.
- It has been quoted or talked about in blogs from California to Australia to England and parts in-between.
- It has become the #1 post on my blog, bringing new visitors weekly, even though the original post was made almost 6 months ago.
- As of today, if you search Google for “creative podcasting” (even without quotation marks) it’s the #2 listing, and #1 is a post about it that links to it.
- The post is included (along with Blogging Church) in an “internet in parish ministry” article in the online "Vincentian Encyclopedia" (A Catholic wiki devoted to material related to a 17th Century Priest and those who follow his example today. But no, I’m not Catholic, and I don’t know anything about this group.)
- Since the first post, I’ve added 2 more ideas, bringing the total to 21.
- Have we implemented these ideas, yet? - No. Although we have made a few noble attempts. The guy trying to read his book at Starbucks who kept glaring at us over his glasses while we tried to do a little "live podcast" is still a funny memory. :) Oh, the hilarious, sweet irony.
- Are we going to? - That’s the plan.
- When? - Great question. We’re kind of “rolling out” features of Compass Church, right now. :) We’ll be trying each of these ideas at one time or another over the next year.
How are you using podcasting in your church or ministry? Has anyone added the 2nd podcast?
