Podcast Technical Details
I use a Heil PR 40 dynamic microphone (and a Behringer C-1 when I am interviewing someone) connected to a XENYX 1622FX analog mixer with USB interface. The XENYX is in turn connected to my Apple MacPro. I use Soundtrack Pro 2 from Apple's Final Cut Studio software suite for all recording and editing. When on the road I use a Marantz PMD660 portable solid state recorder for interviewing. The theme music is called Zombie Chase by Kevin MacLeod and is used under a Creative Commons license. I publish the podcast at 80 kbps, 44.1 kHz, mono.
