What is a podcast host? Why do I need one?

Elijah reviews the purpose of a podcast host, explains podcast 2.0 features, and compares popular podcast host providers like podbean, libsyn, captivate, rss.com, what you need to know to have a great recording session. You're not just recording your voice - you're recording the room. Diving into the recording experience: reviewing microphone types, audio interfaces, cable types, and easy ways to avoid interference from electronics, fans, and other things you may not think of. Maybe a slight rant about how Elijah detests USB mics to his core?

Blog: Podcast host, rss feed, and podcast 2.0 explained. As well, top podcast host features and links to save you research time so you can get to starting a podcast sooner.

Check out Let's Start a Podcast at yourpodcastsidekick.com for a tasty summary, in blog form, written by the host, Elijah.
