Sounds Good podcast "The podcast that makes you sound better"- Audio engineering and how to get sounding good podcast. It's an enhanced iTunes podcast. The images (of enhancement) explain how to achieve certain effects, there's advice, tips and tricks with visuals that make tricky things easier to understand. The host Hens Zimmerman has an intriguing (is it Belgian?) accent. Clearly he's an audio professional, very authoritative and the advice is detailed and fairly easy to follow if you take it bit by bit. He seems to be working on a Mac - this is an exciting podcast that I have to listen to more of. Lots of listener interaction too - which is fab.
Indiefeed - I discovered Mixel Pixel's Coming up Xs on this podcast. The site allows you to chose from different genres like Hip Hop or Blues or Electronica. Each little podcast contains a song and some information about the artist. The website has a page with flash players where you can listen to streams of various genres. Have to make more use of this too. - Oh there is also some spoken word on the site too - I have yet to check that out. The posts on each genre page have the feed link, some of the posts don't seem to - if you scroll down far enough you'll find the feed link somewhere.
So few Mac apps with the podcast download and play ability - or even better preview a podcast. I was trying out Juice but I found I don't give it much of a go, I have a knee jerk dislike of Java apps. I'd also had enough of Playpod which was buggy. So I'm now trying out new podcast feeds in Vienna to see if i like them - If I do I import them into iTunes. I don't like that iTunes doesn't allow you to copy the feed URL from within the app - but if you drag the podcast feed to the desktop it will create a .pcast file which you can then open in a text editor and copy the feed URL. Or I could open the exported OPML file, but my list is so huge it's faster to do the drag and open thing.
