Production Notes
For a first attempt at Podcasting, we're proud of this show. That's not to say that we didn't have some problems, but I think we can overcome them in coming weeks. For example, I had to talk quietly because my voice was coming through up to 3x louder than Jeff's. Because of that, I sound a lot more boring than I'd like. Having spent some time in college radio, I know that you've gotta "overdo" everything in radio just to sound normal. Next week I'll have a Mic that's not so flaky, and the audio levels will improve.
We also have plans to add audio, content from third parties including our partners at GolfWRX.com, and more.
Colophon
The first show was recorded with Audio Hijack Pro over a Skype connection. We then used Soundtrack Pro to edit the show and iTunes to produce the MP3 from the AIFF file. Feeder was used to create the XML file.
