Releases - Music - Language- Hosting

Today we had a scare where some of the technology we use to produce the show was down. So we switched things up and in the end we ended up with a more robust live page with a better chat interface. The cool thing about Chat Wing is you can login with all of your social media sites (twitter, facebook, etc). It is occasionally flaky. 

Podcast Guest Releases [6:20]

Panda Doc is a tool that you can use with your computer/tablet to obtain signatures. Some people just have their guest do an audio release. Something like, "Is there anything in the interview we just did that you would not want to be made public?". If you want a signature check out Panda Doc. Another tool is Hello Sign.

How to Use Fair Use -  [19:20]

Grant from Australia wants to know . Melody Loops is a service Grant likes.

If the music is not licensed, do not use it. You need the songwriter, the performer, and the person/company that owns the rights to it to  rights. If you don't have all three of those sign off on the music you are using the music illegally. Do people use music illegally? Yes. Does it make it legal? No. Use at your own risk. 

Global Language Differences [31:15]

As caller Craig is from Australia we talk about what different words mean like "Bloody" etc. Craig was AWESOME!

Alternatives to Libsyn and Blubrry [43:00]

Media Fire is a low cost, extremely basic stats, with a limit on bandwidth, this is an option. 

Amazon S3 discussion [45:00]

When you use options like Media Fire, Amazon S3, and Azzure from Microsoft (around 23 /month). These are more technical, and you can end up with a more expensive hosting bill than if you use Libsyn.com or Blubrry (get a free month using the code sopfree ).

Audiometric.io still no ads.
