Catholic Roundup

We are pleased to announce that we have set up the Catholic Media Promo Bank. This page is a repository of all the Catholic podcast and blog promos, flyers, etc that I can get my hands on. This could be a useful resource for podcasters who wish to play Catholic podcast promos, or for podcast listeners who wish to find new podcasts.

Our goal at the Catholic Roundup has always been to help Catholics using new media to spread the Good News and to help other Catholics to find great Catholic resources online. If you have questions about setting up your Catholic blog or podcast, we are happy to help out.

A 1-3 minute audio promo is a great way to spread word about your podcast, blog or web resource. Podcasters are a sociable bunch and they are usually quite happy to play promos for other podcasts. A bit of your show music with some clips or a description of your show along with the website address are a good start. You can hear a promo for our show at http://www.cc.ductapeguy.net/40days/CNMRPromo.mp3 .

I got many ideas for the focus of The Catholic Roundup from The Canadian Podcast Buffet, a podcast which serves as a community hub for the Canadian podcasting community. They have some solid promo guidelines at http://www.canadianpodcastbuffet.ca/?page_id=8

Here are their guidelines adapted for my purposes.

PODCAST PROMO

Please attach a promo of no more than 120 seconds in the following
format: MP3, 44.1KHz, 128-bit (stereo or mono)

Once ready, please email your submission to (catholicroundup@gmail.com) catholicroundup (at) gmail (dot) com
with the subject “PROMO: Your Show Name”.

AUDIO PROFILE

The Canadian Podcast Buffet also does something called an Audio Profile which I have adapted here.

Please attach an audio profile of no more than 120 seconds in the following format: MP3, 44.1KHz, 128-bit (stereo or mono)

When you start your audio response to these questions, please follow this format..

Today, Father Roderick and the SQPN network closed their annual fund raising drive with a 12 hour podcast marathon. I thought I would surprise Father Roderick with something special. The Catholic New Media Celebration will be held this year in San Antonio, Texas on June 27. I’m still unable to go but it will be an amazing event. To help promote the CNMC, I wrote and recorded a parody called, ‘People are going to San Antone’ with the help of Adam Hendey on flute (recorded by his mother Lisa Hendey the Catholic Mom), and Dan Harms of Popple on Lead Guitar.

Enjoy.

And if you can make it to the Catholic New Media Celebration, head on over to celebration.sqpn.com for more information.

Apologies for the sound quality in this episode.  I am  still getting used to our new mixer and there was a bit of amplifier hum in one of the mic channels.  I’ll work on it for next time.

Antonia from the wonderful Catholic Linux monkey blog is a programmer and mobile application developer in her day job. For Lent, she made a Mobile Catholic Prayerbook, that contains the common prayers – from the very basic Our Father to various after mass thanksgiving prayers and other Catholic devotionals. It currently runs on Java-enabled phones.  She has an iPhone version coming soon!

It can be downloaded here: http://blvu.com/cpb

I’m  trying to check it out on my palm TX.  I’ll let you know if I get it up and running.

UPDATE:

Antonia Rocks!  When I mentioned that I was trying to get the mobile Catholic Praybook working on my palm TX to take a look, she compiled it specially for me.  Remember folks that the Palm TX is a discontinued platform that no longer officially supports Java apps, but it runs GREAT.  It is basically a quick index of  many Catholic Prayers on your java enabled mobile phone or device.  Antonia is offering it for free during Lent.  If you have a Java enabled cell phone, check it out.

I have screenshots of it running on my palm TX below.
