Within the second Podcast of the Madison Podcaster Group, we discuss hosting of a podcast or video cast. The biggest issue in hosting is bandwidth – since a podcast can get pretty large in size.

Within, we talk about Amazon S3, Blubrry network, PodBean, Libsyn and many more services. For Video, we have YouTube, uStream, Mogolus and blip.tv.

During the recording, a phone was a little close to the recording apparatus, in which some GSM noises came into play. While it is present at times, it does not interfere with the podcast. Chalk that one up to experience….

I started a new group a couple months ago to not only get new podcasters interested, but also have existing podcasters get together and talk about different aspects. I decided that if it’s a meeting about Podcasting, it should be a podcast itself. Therefore, we recorded the first Madison Podcasters Group Podcast.

I decided that since this isn’t really a centric item and there is a lot of good information, then it will be added to the Quickcast. It will also have it’s own group, too.

The subject of the first podcast group – how easy it is to set up and make a podcast. We talk in general about setting up a mic to a computer and recording it, how much it’s going to cost you and how difficult it really is to set up a podcast.

There is some great information out of this hour. The sound is a bit ‘hummy’, I have tried to work out the noise. It is chuck full of some great material, so please bear through the hum and check out the show.

Next month’s meeting will be: How to host your podcast. 3-03-09
