Behringer Podcast Studio Bundle
UPDATE (2/26/08):I’m updating this post because of two things. Number 1, it’s one of the most searched for item here on the blog and I posted about it over a year ago. Number 2, the price of the Podcast Studio Bundle with Firewire is now $180. One caveat, as mentioned in a recent [...]
Podcast of the Week: Boagworld
I’ve been trying to get into web development. I’ve modified a few Wordpress themes, tweaked a few CSS files, and my latest project in this realm is creating a web application with Django. Part of keeping myself motivated is listening to this week’s Podcast of the Week, Boagworld.

Skype and Firewire Don’t Mix
I received an e-mail from Doug this weekend with a problem with Skype and the Behringer FCA202 Audio Interface:
I have absolutely no idea why, but Skype will not record my microphone, even when settings are set to: MICROPHONE: FCA-202 AUDIO and the speakers are set to FCA-202 AUDIO.
I’m guessing it doesn’t understand that [...]
Create Screencasts for Free
Let me just say right of the bat, this post is for the Windows users looking to create screencasts for free. I am not using a Mac right now in my daily workflow. The Mac in my house is in the entertainment center downloading video podcasts and playing music on through the [...]
Podcast of the Week: Quarter Share
I love a good audio book. I’m subscribed, thanks to Leo Laporte, to Audible.com and I’ve already “read” more books in the last 3 months than I did in all of the rest of 2007. While the plan I’m on at Audible allows me one book a month, there is a free alternative to [...]

Podcast of the Week: Mahalo Daily
If you are fan of Buzz Out Loud, the CNET podcast, you’re probably familiar with the host of this week’s Podcast of the Week. It’s Veronica Belmont, and the podcast is Mahalo Daily.
I don’t subscribe to many video podcasts. It takes a lot more effort to create a good video podcast than an [...]
Podcast from Anywhere with Utterz
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m using Utterz to create posts at Fat Guy Radio to document my participating in the Couch to 5K program. Utterz is a new multimedia blogging service. Here is a description of Utterz from the FAQ over at the site:
Utterz is the first way you can [...]
Podcast of the Week: Podcasts for Running
Over at Fat Guy Radio I’ve pretty much stopped creating regular podcasts. I’ve teamed up with a co-host, Jeff Ainslie, and started a new podcast called Fat 2 Fit Radio. I was thinking about what to do with Fat Guy Radio. So far I was just posting links back to the new [...]
Getting the Best Audio out of Skype
In December, Doug Kaye and Paul Figgiani recorded the demonstration and how-to below. The demo is how to get the best call quality with Skype. Right around minute 13:00 I figured out why my Skype quality has been suffering, my PC is not fast enough. Plus the same computer records the conversation. [...]
