Podcast Software
August 04, 2005

Put me on the side of the fence with the people who revile the term “Podcast” and would prefer something less fad-like, such as “Blogcast”. Yet, there are a bunch of tutorials on the net about Podcasting. And while I’m in the market for some podcasting software, I have yet to see anyone recommend any package that gets beyond “Try it out”.

For example, the most popularly recommended software on Windows (sorry Mac folks, I don’t have a Mac or the patience to try out your software on my emulator) is Audacity. Well, ok, Audacity gets the job done, but let’s face it - it gets the job done minimally. So what else is out there?

I wanted to add some links on my site to people who had sponsored me for this year’s Blogathon, so I headed over to the official site to see what they had.

I added the script they supplied to my site (This script can be found on your user page after you log in), and looked at the results. It seems that it only shows the number of sponsors and the total amount raised. Well, that’s fine, but I want to give my sponsors a little something extra.

A Stand-Up Outfit

If you have musical equipment needs, may I humbly suggest you visit Music321. Here is my story…

I recently had the need for some audio equipment to hook some hardware to my computer, and after finding their site, I quickly sifted through their recommendations and selected my items. I saw that everything was in stock, and proceeded to the checkout. I was greeted by a shipping notice that said “Ground Shipping Only”. Well, I needed this stuff for the weekend, so I called their saels line to ask why I couldn’t get next-day or two-day shipping.
