From the beginning it was important for these discussions to serve not just our local community here at the University of Maryland, but also for them to be available to a growing number of scholars interested in the humanities and digital media. As David Durden <a href=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/decade-digital-dialogues-event-recordings-challenges-implementing-retroactive-digital-asset-management-plan\/\">discussed<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/the-digital-dialogues-collection-chronicling\/\">previously<\/a> in his posts about curating this collection, Digital Dialogues originally started as an audio podcast, and later migrated to a video format, that we now make available on Vimeo.<\/p>\n<p>A couple years ago our friend Raymond Yee tweeted to us:<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UMD_MITH\">@UMD_MITH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/digdialog\">@digdialog<\/a> Is there a RSS feed for your podcast series? <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/ZwPkcH1OtJ\">http:\/\/t.co\/ZwPkcH1OtJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Raymond Yee (@rdhyee) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rdhyee\/status\/583734210357141504\">April 2, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>While we do have an <a href=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/feed\/\">RSS feed for the MITH website<\/a> we don&#8217;t actually have a dedicated podcast for Digital Dialogues. Unfortunately a podcast isn&#8217;t something that Vimeo offers. Sadly it&#8217;s often not in the interests of social media companies to let you leave their websites and apps to view content. Nevertheless,\u00a0 Raymond is among the 21% of Americans who still actively listen to podcasts&#8211;and according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edisonresearch.com\/the-infinite-dial-2016\/\">Edison Research<\/a> the numbers are growing.<\/p>\n<p>So, while we&#8217;re not getting rid of the video channel we decided to bring back the Digital Dialogues podcast:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/digital-dialogues\/podcast\/\"> http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/digital-dialogues\/podcast\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Drop that URL in your podcast player or head on <a href=\"itms:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/miths-digital-dialogues\/id1200528741?mt=2\">over to the Apple Store<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"itms:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/miths-digital-dialogues\/id1200528741?mt=2\"><img class=\" wp-image-18715 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-600x450.png 600w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-800x599.png 800w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-980x734.png 980w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM-1200x899.png 1200w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-1.10.49-PM.png 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a>Registering the podcast with Apple had the handy side effect of pushing it out into the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunespartner.apple.com\/en\/podcasts\/partnersearch\">wider podcast ecosystem<\/a>, so podcast players like <a href=\"https:\/\/overcast.fm\/\">Overcast <\/a>should be able to find it.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-18721 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-169x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-200x356.png 200w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-400x711.png 400w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-551x980.png 551w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast-600x1067.png 600w, https:\/\/mith.umd.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/overcast.png 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We considered modifying our WordPress site to add the video enclosure to our existing RSS feed, but decided instead to make the podcast part of our already existing workflow. Calling it a workflow is really another way of saying that a program runs from cron every day looking for new Digital Dialogue events that have an embedded Vimeo video; if a new one is found the video is downloaded (with <a href=\"https:\/\/rg3.github.io\/youtube-dl\/\">youtube-dl<\/a>), the audio is extracted (with <a href=\"http:\/\/ffmpeg.org\/\">ffmpeg<\/a>) and then it&#8217;s published on Amazon S3 (with <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/boto\/boto\">boto<\/a>). You can see this program over in the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/umd-mith\/mithcast\">mithcast repository<\/a> on GitHub if you are interested.<\/p>\n<p>We do hope you enjoy the Digital Dialogues on your commute, on your jog, or wherever they may find you.
