My guest is Rob Walch, VP of Podcaster Relations for Libsyn, and host and/or producer of the following podcast shows:
- Podcast 411
- The Feed
- Today in iOS
- KC Startup 411
- Even his son Porter has a podcast! Porters Podcast
- Rob also helps produce WelchCast
We spoke in detail about Rob's technical setup for each of his shows.
Along the way Rob had some great tips for all of us: (Listen to the episode for all the nitty-gritty)
- Record your Skype audio on a different device instead of on the same computer which you're using to Skype. Then there's no risk of over-taxing that computer's CPU
- He loves his Marantz 660 digital recorder - rock solid
- Sound Soap (plugin to clean up audio) - $150, works in GarageBand
- When making Skype calls, the call will be smoother if the call is initiated from the person with the fastest internet connection
- When linking to your show's iTunes presence, there is a way to have your show open directly in the place where your listener can click 'Subscribe.' *Here are the steps:
BTW- try clicking the one of the two iTunes links in this post and see where it opens ;)
Also, while recording this episode we had a disconnection/crash of CAST, which we were using to connect and record. I am digging CAST and learning how to use it.......and how NOT to use it - like closing the tab of a session and then trying to get back to that session (which you can't)
Thank you for being a great guest and helping us so much, Rob!
