I was going to do some research into podcast hosts. I type “podcast hosts” into Google, and lo and behold, the nice folks at Podcasting News have done it for me. Good list of free, inexpensive and comprehensive podcast hosts.

Microphone Technique/Rode Podcaster
I started out to blog about the new Rode Podcaster USB microphone. I think it looks great and at $199 it might be a great deal, blah blah blah. It has a built-in microphone port for monitoring right in the microphone.
Then I notice the little Quicktime videos at the bottom of page 2 [...]

Free Podcast Software

Podcasting with NO Money
I just got done answering some questions on Podcast Pickle in the forums. Somebody told this guy he had to spend money to podcast. I take offense to that. It is definitely easier to podcast when you spend a little money on it. It will definitely sound better. If you [...]
