Episode 49, March 12, 2007 - Teach Me Oh Great Geeks




thunderbird six show

Summary: You know we have been doing T6 for almost two years and we have been asked many times "How do you guys do a podcast?" Well, in this the first of a two part series Dave, Glyn and Isabelle talk abou the technical end of things. How do you record? What do you use to record? What sort of mics do you use? Where do you get webspace? Mics? Well this episode was recorded with two little lapel mics and an iRiver FP 700 (which you can score on ebay for under 40 bucks nowadays). What about recording software? Well if you have a Mac you are in luck as garageband comes with all new Macs. However try out audacity, wild voice, pod producer or castblaster for cheap or free alternatives. As far as webspace, well if you have a .mac account again you are in luck. (Broca's Area uses .mac). You could get an account at libsym, which many people use. Music? Hey Garageband.com is great for tunes. Music in this episode from Kingsomniac and Uncle Seth. Next time, umm, well we have the gear, what about content?
