]]>I alos have a Skype headset, but you can’t beat the SM58 for quality. Skype is good, but we try to record the bulk of our show together, as a direct recording yields higher quality than Skype, though we do sometimes have Austen over Skype for interviews.
]]>Have you tried any of the “gaming” headsets with a boom mic? I know the SM58 is a good vocal mic, but I’ve always liked having a boom mic attached to the headphones. For SKYPE, I have a little toy headset and my friend has the same - I was totally impressed with how good a SKYPE call can sound, even with low-cost headsets (I got mine at Walmart one day, for about $20!)
Great show, and it keeps getting better!

]]>BTW, fantastic podcast. My favorite. And I stick to that, even if I don’t win the prize.
]]>I find that the two standard protocols, SMB & AFP have their problems. SMB is painfully slow & AFP doesn’t handle long file names properly. NFS is fast and works beautifully. I posted an article with links to all of the software & cross-development tools including my build of Howl (Bonjour support) at http://www.macmegasite.com/node/2839
]]>Your interview was terrific. Watch out - soon you’ll be competing with National Public Radio. You have worked out most of the technical glitches.
I look forward to #11! Oh yeah - one negative comment - the scream from Austen … maybe teens got it, but I didn’t. But, I’m an old fogie.
]]>Also, I’m glad to hear about the no-strings functionality of youtube.com. I’ve tried a couple of video hosts (put file, googlevideo) and this youtube sounds a lot cleaner. So I opened and account there this morning.
Tips for your podcast: Work on your audio levels so they are more consistent, leave some space between features so that the cuts are not so abrupt, and please put your episode number in your file names — it will help me sort them out and manage the downloads on my harddrive.

]]>Your show is excellent. But a tip here: Before editing anything; a photo, an audio file, video … make a backup of it. Especially true with lossy compression - JPEG, MPEG, MP3, “MP4″ - everytime you “re-encode” you lose information.
You found out the hard way that a backup can really save you.
Looking forward to TTB 10.
