In todays episode, i talk about how i record the podcast. in particular i talk about the software, hardware and tools i use to record. I record the podcast using iTalk by Griffin. I use Dropbox to send files from my iPhone to my main machine. I use the Lame MP3 encoder to encode the AIFF file from iTalk into an MP3 that you listen to… I use CyberDuck to upload the files to RackSpace Cloud, who use Akamai as their CDN provider… Finally, i use a self hosted install of WordPress to run the site, and i post a couple days or weeks in advance before the podcast actually arrives by either iTunes or Zune, or what ever you are using to listen to this show.
