Hey Phil, do you have a separate feed for the podcast only? The "MAKE Audio feed" URL you gave us above it's the ordinary rss feed for all the blog posts ( http://www.makezine.com/blog/index.xml )....


Posted by: philliptorrone on April 18, 2005 at 4:26 AM

hey zeno, the podcast applications will just "see" the audio programs, let me know if it doesn't work (i tested on ipodder and about 4-5 others).

cheers,
pt

Good to see you are back into the Podcasting arena Phillip, Was really looking forward to this, my dial up is chugging away at it now, will this been a weekly/fourtnightly/monthly thing?


Posted by: AndyHenderson on April 18, 2005 at 10:29 AM

For the love of God, please buy a pop filter for your microphone.

Good show - I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was hoping for a little more than an optimistic "Wow" about the Adobe purchase of Macromedia. Yes, there are "implications" that are positive, but also potentially negative. Did I miss the monopoly discussion? What about the Adobe/Macromedia employees sweating with insecurity right now?

great stuff pt, enjoyed the show. -brian

The link to the autostitch tag on flickr seems to be missing. The link that says "Panoramas" links to the payphone pokia handset. Here's a link to the autostitch tag: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/autostitch/

Hey Phil, Really great to have you back on a gadget podcast. Missed hearing you on my ipod for last Three and a half month. Was worried you were going to lose your bet on podcasting being a short lived fad. Im Working on shortening a usb2 - firewire type I Cardbus into a Cardbus type III card that is flush with side of laptop. Will document would it be good for a makezine article ?

Hey phil, thanks very much for your answer, yes the feed is ok with specific podcast-applications, but not using what I believe is the best solution to listent to podcasts on Mac OS X: NetNewsWire 2.0 (the latest beta include cool "per-feed podcast" settings): if I add that feed to NNW, I get all the blog 'textual' posts + 'podcast' posts mixed together...it would be nice to have a separate feed for the podcasts only...let us know! and keep up the great work!!!

Interesting program Phil, though you seem too way to steeped in a Microsoft-Apple axis when clearly FOSS is DIY at its core.

I've nevered owned or been interested in digital cameras until you mentioned being able to get a good one for $30. How good is good? It'd be great if you or anyone else could give me some pointers to cheap but quality beginner cameras.

I am very happy to hear you are back into podcasting. You are one of my favorite podcasters, and I learn alot from every one of your shows. One drawback is that you make me want to go spend money on gagdets, something I shouldnt do on my slim budget.

I'm new at this but find it very interesting. This is a great tool for many uses.
