5 screw-ups you can make recording a skype to skype call

We record the Photo Share Podcast using a Skype to Skype call; I make a Skype call to my podcast co-host Sandra and record the conversation, editing and mixing the audio file (.wav) later.

Yahoo + Microsoft = Trouble For Flickr?

A couple of weeks ago, on my Photo Share Podcast, we talked about the possibility of Microsoft gobbling up Yahoo. It wasn’t hard to see the writing on the wall, if you paid attention to the business news. There was some speculation by analysts that Microsoft would make the offer soon. Little did we know…

Photo Share Podcast Just Went Live!

We finally went live with the Photo Share Podcast! Boy, if you have any intention of making a good podcast, with a nice site, good audio quality, and some compelling content, it takes a lot of work. Really, more than I ever thought, and I advise people about podcasting every day. But I wanted to…
Photo Share Podcast Intro

It’s almost time: the premiere of the Photo Share Podcast. I’ve been working on finding a co-host, the website, and now the show intro is finished. I’m pretty happy with it, and I wish to thank the band Chi Weapon for the use of their podsafe music, Kanji. I’m also using their song for the…
