Okay, I just received info from Cabinet about creating a podcast:

''I really have no idea how to set it up on iTunes. Recon was the one who did that. I only record and edit the podcasts (Sometimes).

I can give you some general tips though.


 * You should have someone good to record with. You have to have good chemistry with that person. You need to bounce topics and banter off of each other. If you don't do that you'll end up having a boring podcast that no-one will want to listen to.


 * You should have decent microphones. You need to be audible. A standard laptop microphone will not do. That's why Lance wasn't in the podcast for the first two episodes. You'll also need good microphone etiquette. Don't have it too close to your mouth so everyone can hear you breathe. Don't have it too far away from your mouth so no-one can hear you at all. Have a balance and stick to it.


 * Have a set list of topics and stick to them. We had this problem early on where we would end up going on huge tangents. We would forget our original topic and just continue on. This isn't good. Have some sort of script or checklist.

You have two choices with recording. You can either use a program called CallGraph which records Skype conversations or you can get everyone in the call to record their own audio with audacity and then send it to whoever will edit it. Either or. We use CallGraph.''
