I saw this on digg, and thought it might be of some interest to those just starting out with blogging/podcasting.
I personally didn't sign up, but from what the commenters on digg said, it's all pretty much as advertised. The only thing is that they give you a subdomain, but if you own your own domain, you could always choose to have it redirected to your "webstoop" page. Just thought I'd share it with ya'll Josh http://www.webstoop.com --------------------  website = http://www.joshinjapan.com RSS feed = http://feeds.feedburner.com/joshinjapan itunes page = Link here for iTunes Music Store Page myspace =http://www.myspace.com/joshinjapan frappr =http://www.frappr.com/joshinjapan Visit my PICKLE PAGE(#1475) |

I've been using LibSyn and love it. Not only do you get the same unmetered bandwidth but because they archive your old files after you reach your monthly allotment of space, you never have to lose the old shows either -- and you don't get penalized for having them. Is this other site doing the same or does your archive count toward your gig of space?

The gig is the only thing you get, but for that price ($0), you could just probably get another account for Season 2.

Having said that, 1 gig of disk space won't cut it for me (hey, daily podcast, you know, and so far I've never removed any mp3 from the site, although that may change) so I'll probably wind up moving on to another pay host, maybe dreamhost. -R -------------------- |

Actually I was (with bad timing) reffering to the original service Josh posted about. Without an obvious business model I wouldn't suspect any great stability.

And I was replying to seuss's reply that I thought (correctly, for once) was to the original post.
But I was talking in general. I can't understand a podcaster using that term. -------------------- Volcanicast: What have people been searching for on Google this week?

With the talk of hosting, I thought I would throw out my hosting service switchpod.com . We provide free and paid hosting. Our free hosting is ad supported, the ads are inserted into your feed as a seperate file so your listeners have the option to download them. The ads are mostly show promos. Our paid version ranges from 100mb of space to 2gb of space. Prices ranging from $3-$30 per month.
I just thought I would explain our service. Also, we are looking to get a bunch of bigger name podcasters to move to service so we can really stress test our system. If anyone with 500+ subscibers would like to move to switchpod we would provide them with hosting free of charge. Email Jake@switchpod.com if interested. -------------------- |

Like I told you at the time, though, all these hosting companies have terrible customer service, and it definitely seems like they don't give a crap about you unless you're on a dedicated server and you're actually paying their bills. With a free host, there's even less incentive for them to not suddenly pull the plug and leave you in the lurch; at least with someone you're paying, even if it's only $5 or $10 a month, there's some incentive for them not to pack up and leave town in the middle of the night. Speaking of which, I just went to the link in the original post and it looks like the cupboard is bare... -------------------- Steve The Wicked Good Podcast : Observations and misadventures from the heart of New England [Feed] [Pickle Page] Extra Points: The Fantasy Football Podcast: We help you earn extra points every week!

Should I have said you get what you pay for when getting something for free that is normally a paid service?
