No way we are doing this show with NO editing at all. I cut maybe 6 minutes of dead air from the first episode... I mean it was all perfect.

It's free, easy to use if you have users who aren't in the same location, and they pay you money based on the number of listeners you have. Scott Kurtz of pvponline.com apparently makes enough money using it to pay for his office space. While they used to have bumpers before and after the recording, I haven't heard any of them lately on any of the podcasts I've listened to from there. for hosting, talkshoe.com.

What would you want as a utilikilt feature? And 'pant legs' isn't allowed. As for the name, why mess with a good thing? I say you go with "Hijinks Ensue". I'm sure it will sum up the podcast very well. 2 ideas for topics:

An hour long show, in poor quality (decent for talking... ie. podcasting) is usually around 25mb. great quality is about 75mb. libsyn.com is easy as hell to use, and its not owned by any corporate giants... i dont think... haha... you post your stuff, they host it. submit the rss feed to iTunes and you're gold. i've been doing it for about a year ( plug: http://www.supercandid.net or http://supercandid.libsyn.com/ ) if you use libsyn, keep in mind that whatever you enter as text on your PODCAST posts, is what itunes will post in the episode description. so format it as such (ie. no URLS, really long code or whatever) thats the reason we started a separate site, for the links and blogposts (which you've already got), and just use libsyn solely for hosting and ipod notes. i think just 'Hijinks Ensue' is a decent name for a show. Hijinks ComicCast or something would work to... ComiCast sounds good, but its probably taken. do you listen to many podcasts? you have the stream of conciousness shows like SModcast, where kevin smith and scott mosier just talk about WHATEVER. then you have stuff like Leo Laporte when its down to a T and sounds like a radioshow (because he also does radio). ie. segments and all that. The CAGCast is great, ie. the cheapassgamer.com podcast. they talk games and life in tokyo and all that. i think the penny arcade show is too sloppy. and one HUGE thing. AVOID TALKING OVER EACH OTHER. half the podcasts out there do this, and its annoying as hell. just listen and interject comments, but dont argue over and over. if there are more than 2 people involved, its very each to bog each other down, so be mindful. some big name shows fall prey to this every episode, and as such, i no longer listen at all. as for topics... just freeball it man. i'm curious to see what you have to say. i’m all about libsyn.com man… if you keep your files sizes small, you can do a few a month for $5. its 100MB for $5, or 250mb for $10, and so on.
