PoducateMe.com is maintained and operated by Micah Ovadia, a digital designer at the University of Cincinnati (UC). Prior to joining UC in 2006, Micah was a Marketing Coordinator for Career Services at Miami University (MU) in Oxford, Ohio; a multimedia developer for Time Warner Cable; and a print and Web designer for The Cincinnati Enquirer/Cincinnati.com.
It was during his time at MU when Micah conceived and launched the CareerChat podcast project with Leslie Marmor, Assistant Director for Alumni Career Services. In 2006, CareerChat was awarded the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Excellence Award in the category of Information Resources for Students.
Since Micah's departure from MU, CareerChat has been helmed by Leslie and Craig Patrick, Micah's successor (and illustrator of the PoducateMe owl), who are steering the production in new and exciting directions. Micah continues to offer his occasional input and guidance to the project.
The PoducateMe guide details the processes and procedures Micah and Leslie learned, and continue to learn with Craig, in producing CareerChat. Micah has spent more than a year writing the guide and building this Web site in his free time, with the hope that PoducateMe will help educators to explore and implement podcasting in the classroom. The guide is updated as needed, with revision dates and notes compiled on the PoducateMe blog.
The entire PoducateMe guide is available to view online free-of-charge. Fully printable PDF copies of the PoducateMe Podcasting Guide may be purchased and immediately downloaded for $19.95 ($17.95 for students and educators).
