Intellectual Icebergs is an interview podcast produced and hosted by geeks, for geeks. Roughly every three weeks we delve into both hard and soft science topics ranging from Cryptography and IPv6, to Dating Tips for Geeks and Partyology. We set all of our interviews to some of the best pod-safe music, and our show is completely non-commercial. On our companion music cast, Aural Icebergs, you can hear the music we feature on Intellectual Icebergs, but without the interference of words.

To make my podcast, I use …
To make our podcast, we use two Behringer B-1 microphones plugged into a UB802 mixing board. This passes through a T1952 Tube Composer (compressor), then through a Yamaha UW10 USB AtoD for conversion into digital sound, and into a dedicated PC. We also pass an audio feed out of the Yamaha into a Behringer HA8000, which allows up to eight people to listen to the show simultaneously. We use Audacity to record our podcasts, edit all extraneous noises out of the resulting wav file, adjust final levels, and to mix in our chosen music. We then use Poikosoft’s Easy Audio File Converter (which earns the name admirably) to convert the final wav to an mp3.

By the end of 2006, I think…
By the end of 2006, we think podcasts will become increasingly more commercial, and that greater differentiation will appear between commercially produced and individually produced podcasts.
