Tech Policy Podcast Episode 4!

Episode 4 is a long one because there was a lot of news to cover. Sound is getting better as in production in general. Have to find that normalize sound button somewhere GarageBand though. Some items in this episode:

- P2P file sharing and malicious software takes its toll
- Many are losing faith in government to defend against a cyberattack
- School uses webcam to spy on student – school gets sued
- FTC under fire over three-strikes internet law
- Senate jobs bill passes without R&D tax credit

LOTS of events in Washington and many chances for a free lunch. There are several I will be at which will be noted. If you’re planning on being at one or more give a shout and lets grab a cup of coffee or five.

More after the jump….

Episode 3!

The latest episode was released a day late. Sadly the day job got in the way. It’s a long one, though, at nearly 45 minutes. Hopefully we can pull this back a bit and keep the podcast to a set time frame. Editing was miserable this time. We’re slowly getting use to recording things in segments then stringing it together, but GarageBand is very cumbersome at times.

Show notes after the jump.

And the website….is here.

This is it. For now at least this will be the website. The domain www.techpolicypodcast.com already forwards here, creating that nice convenience, but the problem of setting up a brand new website is turning out to be much more than I can chew at this point. That and I want it to look a specific way but don’t yet have the skills to make it so!

Until something else rolls around this will be it.

iTunes Approved

We’ve been approved on iTunes! While this is just a formality it’s always nice when Apple actually approves something without any sticking points. There are still a few points to work out, namely why it shows an odd description for each episode, but it’ll all work out soon.

Episode 2: Februrary 09, 2010

Episode 2 is done! Despite the blanket of snow falling outside, and the possibility we might lose power, everything went smoothly. Managed to find some music that was both free and legal to use. Slowly figuring out the different mic settings. With some luck it’ll all stabilize soon.

Show notes following the jump! Apologies for any mistakes, still getting use to this process.

Episode 1 and Syndication

With episode one in the bag, albeit a little scratchy and hesitant, and episode 2 due to be recorded shortly, I went ahead and signed up for hosting. If you’ve ever considered doing your own podcast, think twice. It’s a lot of work.

For the hosting I went with Liberated Syndication. I read up on various podcasts that I listen to and found a number of them used LibSyn (as it’s referred) with good results. My only complaint, so far, is that the interface is sparse and a little confusing. Never the less episode 1 has been uploaded, the RSS feed created, and all submitted to iTunes.

Now let’s hope iTunes accepts and places it in the directory!
