2009 Ragan Speechwriters Conference Presentation. Do you want to double or triple the size of your speaker’s audience without even leaving the office? These days you have the power to reach more people, any time of the day by turning your speeches into podcasts and Web postings. By simply putting an audio recording on a Web site and letting people subscribe to a feed, you’ll have a powerful way to extend your speaker’s voice to people not otherwise in the audience. Same with a blog. Unlike a scheduled speech, podcasts and blogs are always available. Drawing on my experiences as an executive communications manager at Hewlett-Packard, Ian Griffin I share best practices from the corporate world and tell you how to: * Record, edit and post a podcast to the Web and iTunes * Choose the best options for hosting and distributing podcasts * Find technical help and information on audio equipment and sound editing software * Know when it’s appropriate to repurpose a speech to a blog, Web site or podcast
