When going into the Podcasting world it can sometimes be hard to find something of interest that is not over done. You will want to find something that keeps people interested, yet what others have not already covered. A good place to start is in your own community. You will want to see what is available that interests you as well as the rest of the community. One of every town's hot relations is sporting events. Most people follow sports in some capacity. National sports are largely talked about in all areas, including Podcasts. The commodity you want to hit is the local sports events. Go for children's sports, middle school and high school sports, and local university sports. These are all of major interest and not over played in the Podcasting community. Depending on what you have the most have in your community and are most likely to follow and Podcast on daily is the big thing. You want to be able to keep your listeners and/or viewers informed.

Children's sports are a great way to begin Podcasting. It is fun and parents love to hear how well their kids do. Most times it is about learning the game and doing well as a team. Podcasting at older children's sporting events can be a great way for future teams to pick their star players. Most people will be willing to be interviewed and will not have an issue with you Podcasting to local parents. This should be considered a practice run is school and local sports events for Podcasting. This is a great way to get started in the ways of Podcasting, but very efficient if you want many listeners. You will want to move up into something more competitive such as middle school or high school sporting events.


 Historical Quote
If our web be framed with rotten handles, when our loom is well nigh done, our work is new to begin. God send the weaver true prentices again, and let them be denizens.
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)



Middle school sports actually have to be tried out for and are far more covered in the local media than the younger kids. Parents are actually very interested as well as peers in hearing what happened at the local sporting event through Podcasting. Now a days many kids have iPods and a school-sporting event that they have to miss can be easily retrieved through a Podcast. You will be able to either make an audio or even a video Podcast. If you are doing a video Podcast of the game you will need to make sure it is smaller than the actual game. You might want to use some of the highlights while talking about the game and its stars. You will always have something to Podcast because no matter what time of year there is always some form of school sports occurring. Most junior high schools offer football, baseball, basketball, and track for boys. They also usually offer field hockey, softball, basketball, and track for girls. This gives a wide range of local Podcasting options. You might want to do two separate Podcasts for the boys and the girl's teams. You might make your Podcast more seasonal and include both the current boys and girls sporting events at the same time.

High school sports will be the biggest local sporting events that occur for most places. There is a high demand for Podcasting in this area. This is when many athletic students are going for college scholarships. Usually most towns and cities are really into their high school sports teams and especially if they have kids in that age group parents love to hear all about what happened at the local game. Not only is this a popular way to get parents more involved with Podcasting and how it works, but also the kids can download local event Podcasting to listen to during lunch or study hall. Teens are very much into their local sporting events and most have iPods today. Podcasting local high school sporting events can be a very effective field. If you are gearing your Podcasts toward teens you can also talk about other local events as well. You can Podcast any concerts that are coming or any entertainment in the area geared towards teens. Podcasting is a great tool to keep people informed on what is going on in their own communities. The idea of being able to easily access the local events in your area is wonderful.
