Podcast Legal Speak - Multiple Podcast Confguration


Podbean is Still Bad 

Podbean has always been a mystery. In looking at their network they have a lot of people listed that makes it appear that they are using their service. It turns out they are not. See what Mignon Fogarty says

 

I've sent them an email asking them why they have these networks listed, but I have not heard back (again, I do not recommend this company - they just seem shady). 

Time Stamp Not Sticking in Mp3 File ID3 Tags [10:00 ish]

Artwork that is being used in the mp3 is over 1MB in size, which takes up space in the ID3 headers may have issues with their tags. According to WinAmp, headers are taking up the first 1444789 bytes (nearly 1.5MB). I would recommend re-saving that image used in the mp3 as a jpg, it will be substantially smaller than a png of the same resolution (I suspect it is using a png currently). This image does not need to be 1400x1400 either, 600x600 or 300x300 works just as well for this application

If the topics are related I could see them all on the same site. You can have domain names that point at the same website (maybe different categories). 

Make sure to cross -promote Your shows.

Longer Shows With Many Topics or Short Shows With One Topics [45:00]

It depends on you. Here are some things:

1. Single topic shows are easier to write blog posts and headlines for.
