finally catching up. Are you using skype?
I’m really glad you are podcasting. I’ll harass you later.

I’m not using Skype. I’ve been using Freeconferencecall.com. It is a turn key solution I have been using with Playing with Fire. One of the reasons I am not using Skype is I have been having trouble getting it configured correctly, so I didn’t want to use that as an excuse not to do interviews. The bit depth is only 8bit, but the sample rate is pretty high, so it’s not terrible. I go to my account and then download the wav file, pretty simple.
Of course, last night in my interview with the Willits I had the first problem in the 15 interviews I/we have used it for. Oh well, it’s technology, and technology will always let you down at some point.
I have produced a large number of casts, but I have never hosted one. The closest I’ve gotten was my voice work on the Breadcast. I have a new respect for everyone who does them. I have been learning a lot and making tons of mistakes. That’s all part of it, but publishing an episode is painful for me. The episodes never seem to be what I want them to be, they take on a life of their own. Sigh. Learning is tough.

I had tried that before with horrible results. They must have gotten much better from the sound of your interview. I recently tried doing it on TalkShoe.com, and I liked it. You can get to it via computer, or via phone, so it makes it easy to use, and others can listen in on the call, and chat via instant messenger like window.
We nerds thank you for asking Dr. iJim for the technical details. I think it’s good when a show about podcasting or media takes a little time to get technical. I think a lot of the audience for that kind of show are looking for more information for their own shows.
You have a good style for an interviewer. You almost sound interested in the topic.
Keep it up.
