Further to my earlier email, I will summarise my findings for the list, as there seems to be a lot of interested people out there.

Subject: audio tours / podcasts on mobile phones

Hello

 

We are in the very early stages of looking into creating audio to go with an exhibition.  Rather than buy any devices, I was thinking along the lines of creating audio files which visitors can download to their own mobile phones, like at various Cadw and NT sites.

 

Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing, or any recommendations?  In particular costs, and time required to produce something like this.  If so, I’d be really happy to hear from you!

 

Yours hopefully,

 

Phaedra
