  • Episode 26 – David Edick reviews the CEntrance PortCaster and Mixerface
    If you'd like a device with some of the functionality of the Zoom Podtrak P4 but with no menus to navigate and all physical switches, you may be interested in the PortCaster or its older sibling, the Mixerface.

    PortCaster is a mobile audio interface for Podcasting, Live streaming and Videos. With this handheld, portable mixer you can host your own live talk show, with music and guests. A combination of Mobile Mixer, Recorder, and USB Audio Interface, PortCaster features a rechargeable battery that lasts 8 hours and warm, analog sound.

    It couldn't be more accessible because all the switches are physical.

    Learn more on the PortCaster web page.

  • Episode 21 – Cleanfeed from a blindness perspective, a powerful, accessible tool for remote recording and collaboration

    This podcast focusses on how to podcast from a blindness perspective.

    Cleanfeed is a tool which even offers an unlimited free tier that will take the audio quality of your remote podcast interviews to the next level. But there’s so much more you can use Cleanfeed for than podcasting. If you want to work with remote guests or co-hosts on Internet radio, or you do audio production and want to produce a talent who has their own studio, Cleanfeed will do it all without breaking a sweat. This outstanding service has been designed by audio professionals, for anyone who cares about the audio they produce.
    In this demo, Jonathan Mosen takes you on a thorough tour of Cleanfeed’s features and how and why you use them, all from the perspective of a blind person using JAWS for Windows.
