Stump the Podcast Coach [3:00]

Dave has a client who:

1. Doesn't have a computer

2. Wants to sounds good and not cut corners.

3. He's blind. 

It's going to be a challenge but Dave is going to see if we can get him podcasting. Dave is thinking using an iPhone with Boss Jock Studio.

You Need To Learn Some Tech [6:00]

So many people don't podcast because they think they need to be an uber geek. While you don't have to be a geek, you do have to have some technical skills. Many you already have (uploading images to Facebook is like uploading a media file to Libsyn). 

Don't be afraid of the technology. We so often panic when we see things for the first time. Take it in bite size chunks

Internal Podcasts for Companies [11:25]

Rich is creating a podcast and wants to use Sharepoint. 

It turns our that since you would have to log in to hear it you would not be able to list this in iTunes. Having a private podcast can be a huge savings over sales meetings and such. But if its not public, it can be a challenge. 

Make sure the mp3 file is exposed to the world.

How Do You Isolate Tracks in Audacity While Recording? 6:00

Michael Kicking Bear Johnson of www.singlefeathermedia.com One way to do this is to use a USB mixing console like Alesis MultiMix 8 USB FX which goes for about $139. Where this mixer differs from others in the lineup is in its USB 2.0 technology. This enables you to send 10 channels (8 input channels plus the 2-Track input) individually to the computer, at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution. Because each channel is sent individually, you can use virtually any DAW or other music software for mixing and editing the incoming audio. Jim notes that this is the mixer he uses and it only shows one channel coming into Audacity. Potentially more complex software like Garageband, or Logic, might be able to identify the mixer channels coming from the mixer.

Growing Your Audience

You want to grow your audience, and one way to do this is to put your website on everything. Dustin from Www.definingmomentstv.com asked about iTunes stats vs libsyn.com stats. iTunes does not furnish stats to podcasters in regards to the number of downloads or the number of subscribers. It is a directory of podcasts (think of it like a phone book).

If you are using a media host like Libsyn.com or Blubrry.com when someone listens on a website, phone, tablet, your media host will track your download. It tunes (if it tracks downloads) does not share this information with the public). 

One thing you can do is make it easy to play your podcast. You can find one if you have a blubrry.com account (even if you're not using them as a host). Another one is at
