Better Podcasting – Episode 044 – We’ve Been Hacked

We kick off the show this week discussing the details of being a victim of a security hack/compromise and the resulting annoyance that followed suit. If you run a website or self-host, we’ve got some advice on how you can keep yourself safe and prepared.

There’s a jam-packed Better Podcasting Download(s) section where we discuss PowerPress’s recent article about podcasting downloads vs streams and how you can make sure to best capture your audience. Other topics include how Texas A&M is partnering with DMR/Interactive to launch a podcast and how similarly Adweek.com has determined whether or not celebrities have a leg up in the world of podcasting. For our final download, we give you an update on the podcast documentary titled The Messengers.

This week we’re pleased to present our first fan-submitted “How I saved My Podcast” story discussing how one listener went to the extreme of ADR to help correct and interview. Finally, in our Better Podback we discuss how a cable change solved one listeners problem (and how TRS/TS are not the same as Balanced/Unbalanced).
