Apple’s Top 6 Podcasting Questions
From the Apple discussion boards comes the Top 6 Podcasting Questions. I have to admit that I was looking for a reason that my podcast description hasn’t updated. I modified it in Podpress over 3 weeks ago, and iTunes hasn’t updated the podcast page. Also in the past, I’ve also had my [...]
Free Podcast Host: MyPodcast.com
The first of the free podcast services to get tested was MyPodcast.com. I found the site through a Google search for “free podcast hosting”. Let’s get into the review.

Mystery of Mix Minus

My Next Mixer: Alesis MultiMix 8 Firewire
I’ve been recording a lot of Skype conversations. Particularly I record each episode of Fat 2 Fit Radio by means of Skype every week. Jeff Ainslie, my co-host, calls in from Calgary, Alberta (that’s in Canada). I record both my voice and his on separate left and right channels of my current [...]
