This is Pedicast.

Welcome to Pediacast, a pediatric podcast for parents.

And now, direct from the campus of nationwide children's, here is your host, Dr. Mike.

Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to Pediacast.

It's a pediatric podcast for moms and dads.

This is Dr. Mike coming to you from the campus of a nationwide children's hospital. We're in Columbus, Ohio. It is episode 316 for April 29th, 2015. We're calling this one osteopathic medicine and back pain. I want to welcome everyone to the program. So together we're going to make Pediacast history today.

And I'm really excited about this.

It's something that's been tucked away in my idea box for a while now.

And a couple of developments have occurred this year, which took the idea out of the box and put it into action.

First, the good folks in our sports medicine division approached me about starting a podcast

on sports medicine topics.

And since I've been doing pedicasts for a little while now, okay, nearly a decade,

and I've developed a little know-how in producing podcasts, they came knocking with

practical questions related to getting the job done, including equipment and software and servers and all sorts of other technical help.

Well, I jumped on that opportunity, but not for the reason you might think. As it turns out, I really love the technical aspects of podcasting. in fact, researching and putting together a studio

with the right equipment and the software and figuring out a workable production plan.

I kind of looked at that as a hobby in the early days, and it's a hobby that help propel

PDACAST forward.

Now, as it turns out, sometimes that knowledge was slow and coming through much trial and error

and listening to various podcasts about podcasting. And since then, I have shared what I've learned

many times in the past with budding podcasters, although I will say most of them run the other

way when they find out the amount of time and effort it takes to actually pull this off.
