Anybody use Libsyn?

Two hour podcast = too long-winded.

He would do better to have scripted to save viewers time. Disrespectful, maybe.

Anyway, I didn't watch it.

He was doing a live web broadcast via YouTube Live. He was replying to live questions by e-mail and Twitter.

I just compared Libsyn, Blubrry.com, Soundcloud, Amazon S3, Spreaker, and Podbean. You can hear it at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/410 or read about it at here

Thanks for this post! very informative. I am currently looking to find a new host for video. the issue is one of our more popular shows uses around 20 TB a month.

I know Libsyn and Blubrry say unlimited bandwidth. It would be interested to see if 20TB would make them blink.

A lot of podcasters swear by it, but i don't get it. Seems overpriced and most of the "bonuses" you can get from the more costly plans you can get for free elsewhere.

The problem with free, is its not a very good business model. In the last 10 years I've seen NUMEROUS companies try the free model. I've tried it at the grocery store. It didn't work. I tried it at the gas station. It didn't work. It turns out that companies that stay in business, provide good service, and good support, need to charge for it. Case in point, I've tried three different skype recording software. In doing less than 10 episodes with each, they all had errors and ate the interview. Thankfully they were tests.

You have made one posting here. You are in the right place I suggest. The starter post for this thread has a pretty good explanation, and there are other sites you can pretty easily research and learn what you need.

You can rent alot of server space nowadays for $20 per month, so I can understand reluctance.

When you get into podcasting and use jingles and other promotional things during broadcasts the services are alot of help.
They are always up, and their downloads are seamless. That helps alot, especially when you are live.

Be patient, you should get some good information on your podcasting on these forums.
