Time for a few reviews, including a new noise-cancelling headset mic for doing shows during the commute to and from work (such as this one) along with a couple of iPod accessories that will be of interest to any podcaster (or iPod owner for that matter). Enjoy! Show correction: The retail price of the ETY-COM headset is $70, not $80.

Roderick from Catholic Insider, Brian Ibbott from Coverville, and several others. In addition, future editions of Behind the ...

OK, this show is not only overdue but is also way late. It was actually recorded back in late June (as evident by some of the things mentioned) but got misplaced and then other things took over. In any case, it's finally here and the topic and main information is still relevant. Still somewhat on the guerilla podcasting theme, this one will give you some ideas on how to increase your listenership. Enjoy!

Combine the tips in this show with the ones in the previous show and you have everything you need to put together a great-sounding podcast without having to invest a lot of time and money in the process.

I only vote on those shows with a"PG-13"rating or under and just because a sho ...

Well, it would have been three shows in three days if sleep deprivation hadn't affected my immune system...this show was actually ready to go back on June 10th but I've been sick seven out of the past 10 days so here we are. In any case, this is the first of two shows offering tips on how to get great sound out of less than great equipment. This one covers how to get an inexpensive mic (particularly a headset mic) to sound as good as possible. Next time we'll look at how to get yourself sou ...
