Services That I Use For Podcasting
Here are the services that I utilize to power all the podcasting here at Podcast NYC.
Soon I'll publish a list of all the hardware that I'm using to power my podcasts. Believe me when I tell you that it costs a lot less than the (audio or video) rigs that the "experts" will tell you that you should put together to power a "professional" podcast. Whatever. If you tweak the settings properly your subscribers will never know the difference.
- Blogger - Simple, flexible and free. Blogger powers all of the podcasts that sit on the main Podcast NYC site. $0 per month
- Wordpress - The grand daddy of all weblog software if you ask me. WordPress powers my New York Minute Show, Flow and New York Mets podcast websites. $0 per month
- Feedburner - All of my podcast feeds are run through FeedBurner. And I use their HTML republishing tools to power the Latest sections on the front page of Podcast NYC. $0 per month
- LibSyn - All the audio and video files go here. I never leave home without it. $30 per month
- Dreamhost - Industrial strength web hosting at rock bottom prices. All Blogger pages, WordPress installs and all images are hosted under various Dream-hosted domains. Home of the famous "one click install" for WordPress. Nice! $9.95 per month
- Hipcast - Formerly known as Audioblog, this service is best used for publishing audio and video on your blog websites. I like to use this service to call in posts that are then automatically published to my podcast websites. $4.95 per month
- Google Video - This works really well for adding a nice flash video player on all the posts that contain video podcasts. See it in action at my Video Extras page. $0 per month
- Gmail - The best web based email IMHO. All the email for Podcast NYC gets routed through a single Gmail account and management of it is a snap. $0 per month
- Feed Player - The Big Contact Feed Player is the best solution around for streaming and sharing your audio podcasts. $0 per month.
