Bowed Radio: Hosted by me
I have been a long time listener of the podcast Bowed Radio. So, when Mark put out a call for collaboraters I jumped on board and figured out how I could help. The result is my first ever podcast episode. You can find all the details of the show over there. Enjoy :)
As this is a more or less techinical blog here are the tools I used:
Audacity
Audacity is a nice audio editor that allows you to import tracks, record tracks via a microphone, layer tracks and add various effects. It is the GIMP of audio. If you listen to my podcast you will hear that I had a bit of trouble with the levels so if anyone has good tips on normalization let me know.
Samson Go Mic
I bought this microphone to record my violin when I practice and it worked great in recording the podcast too. It sounds suprisingly good and the stand is nice: it can clip to your laptop screen bezel or rest on a desk self supported. Overall I am happy with it.
Using those two tools I got over the hurdle of making my first podcast. It was fun and maybe I will start doing a technical podcast in the future. I for one miss hacker medley

I love writing systems software. At Rackspace I am the Engineer of Developer Happiness. At SuSE I was a Linux Kernel Hacker. And at Oregon State I interned at the Open Source Lab. In the world I contribute to open source software, volunteer to teach robotics and get out and about with a backpack, bike or pair of running shoes.
You might have seen me speak at Linux Plumbers Conf, Open Source Bridge, or Ignite Portland. In the past I helped organize Linux Plumbers Conf and Freedom HEC Taipei.
