Hi,Great information in this show again. Learned some services I didn't know about.Personally I've been having a great experience using LibSyn for my podcasts the last 2 – 3 years. Never really had any issues, but I did hear some others were having a few problems. I think they had some issues lately, even financially since the price of their service has been raised a bit.What I do is host my Site and my Podcast RSS feed on my own website. The domain is hosted on a Shared Hosting account (SiteGround). I only use LibSyn for hosting and serving my media files, nothing else.The WebSite itself is a WordPress installation on my own domain. I also maintain the Podcast RSS feed myself and upload that to my own domain. That RSS feed is then burned using FeedBurner, … It works perfectly for me. The WebSite is hosted in one spot, the actual media files on LibSyn. Regards,Stefaan

Congratulations, Sally. Now we know that there is at least ONE other listener out there and she's female! If only we could get a few more of the listeners to drop comments on the blog or even a short email would be great. Sometimes I feel like I'm shouting into the dark here.I was ribbing Mister Williams the other day about choosing someone in Aus as the winner so he wouldn't have to pay postage to Canada. ;PAnother interesting show, boys. I think I went over most of this hosting stuff with Dave when I was trying to decide where to find hosting. I'm using Bluehost now as well… which reminds me, I should write another blog post sometime soon. Looking forward to hearing some more from Mister Noonan on using your voice.

I always learn something from your shows. this one was no exception. As far as demographics are concerned…. I am a 56 year old woman and have been blogging for close to 5 years and now podcasting for a couple of months. I love to learn new stuff and learning podcating is fascinating. Your show helps a lot. I use TypePad for my blog. Since I already pay for my blog it was easy and no additional cost to add my podcast as a new blog http://marionvermazen.blogs.com/mv-podcast/. You did make me realize that I do need to look at TypePad's band width. Typepad Pro gives me 1 GB disk space and bandwidth of 10GB/month for $8.95 U.S. per month. My question for a future show is what can you legally use for music on your podcast? Thanks for a great show. It is authentic, true and fun to listen to.

Hi Guys! Have you looked at using Amazon's S3 system for media file storage? I'm just exploring it, and it looks like it's the most cost-effective approach out there. May be a bit of hassle, but the price is right! -Gordon
