Podcast #2 is up, broadly about advertising and blogs. 2:30. The quality is still awful, I might still sound like a chipmunk if you play it in flash, but thanks for all the great suggestions on the post from yesterday, I’ll be trying them out over the next few days. ¶

Where’s the button to upload an audio response?

… you still sound like a chipmunk

hey,
why don’t you encode the podcast with a higher bitrate? i think that would improve the quality a bit..

Wow! Great turn around time on #2.
You bring up a great point about blogs that can really be translated to podcasting as well. Demographics can be applied, but we’re already hitting that niche. The content we provide is focused for those who share the same interests. It’s a very forward thinking concept that not a lot of marketers understand, still relying on radio and TV models that formed through broadcasting, “broad” being the major word.

Matt, same here with #1 and #2 – chipmunk-sound. Seems to be an encoding problem. Probably using MP3Pro? I also had problems with this codec.
I tried to play with the google-reader embedded flashplayer and download + winamp and windows media player.

Yeah I think the same way too. My personal blog at least I have another which is trying to sell out.

“True blogs are really like an anti-demographic.”
Was that an idle musing or a considered opinion? It doesn’t matter. You can stop podcasting now, you’ve just jumped the shark.

The chipmunk effect is a Flash bug (I guess). Seems like Flash doesn’t know how to play mp3 files if the sample rate isn’t 11025 (Mhz?) or a multiple of that. So 11025, 22050, 44100 all work, in between they don’t.

You sound like you’re mumbling.

liked the podcast, but you should benefit if you can get to improve the sound quality. Have tried this software myself, but the freely available software audacity, i think can be of help.

Nice one, Matt. I agree with previous comments about the sound quality do. You need to crank it up!
