Poof! There goes the bandwidth!

Posted by Bob on December 22nd, 2004

Yep.. After just about a month, we’ve blown our bandwidth. Not neccesarily a bad thing, after all, we were on a small package, so I’m not complaining. As of the wee hours of this morning, we’re on a bigger package with more goodies (you know, unimportant stuff like space & bandwidth)..
I’m closely following the bit-torrent [...]

Great podcast production tips

Posted by Bob on December 21st, 2004

Jim from Whole Wheat Radio has been streaming internet radio since the late 1950’s. He also produces podcasts (which he calls Audio Magazines). One of these magazines is a series of podcasting tips, which are entertaining and informative.
He’s up to number 8 in the series, and in tip 8, he goes through the entire audio [...]

Stuff Happens

Posted by Bob on December 19th, 2004

I would start this by warning you not to drink when editing/posting your podcast.. Thing is, I haven’t had a drink today.. Here’s what happened..
AJ was away, so I edited the show together, uploaded, and I was done.. Or so I thought.. I actually uploaded the wrong version of the MP3..
So about an hour after [...]

And so it begins…

I can’t say I’m surprised, though I admit I am disappointed…
It’s happened, american politics are invading podcasting..
In this corner, ipodio’s Thomas Gaume complains of a lack of AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE podcasts, and that anyone who posts something disagreeing with the US government or it’s policies is anti-american. He goes as far as to offer Dave Winer [...]

Perhaps some will want to know this..

Posted by Bob on December 12th, 2004

After seeing this page, Colin in the UK asked me more details about our recording techniques, I’d thought I’d include a summary of my response here…
Audacity (almost any audio editing software, actually ) has a steep learning curve at the beginning.. At first, I simply went for “Ok, how would I do this on tape?”- [...]

Be afraid Mr. Bill, Be very afraid….

Production stuff

Posted by Bob on December 8th, 2004

There have been comments on the production quality of the show, and while it’s not quite where I want it to be yet, thanks for the encouragement!!
Some have asked what the setup is, so I’d love to tell you all about my PowerBook, and the fact that everything is self-contained and all the nifty software [...]

What am I missing here?

Posted by Bob on December 8th, 2004

One of the things buzzing around the podsphere seems to be OPML (outline processing markup language). I’ve seen Adam’s show notes that he produces, and a few others are starting to do it too… The thing is… I don’t get it. Sure, it seems kinda neat, for outlining.. But I don’t outline, at least, not [...]

It’s not all about the show , you know

Posted by Bob on December 8th, 2004

OK, maybe it is..
