Skypecasting: Recording Skype for Podcasts
Starting to get really interested in this whole podcast thing. But it's one thing to do a monologue or to record your kids with a mike. What if you want to do an interview? Seems like it would be great to simply record the phone call. I am not alone in this desire.
Here are a number of entries that outline the various (more or less complex ways) that folks have figured out how to use Skype to record a call and then post as a podcast:
- Unboundspiral was the first entry I found that called this "Skypecasting"
- Ragged Castle has a outline using Audio HiJack pro and a Mac
- Jason Calacanis asked the same question as me and got a ton of interesting, and often conflicting comments.
- Glenn Fleishman of Macdevcenter has a nice step by step walk through that used much the same equipment - with all the gotchas as well.
- And Moodle Exchange has gone one step further - Skypecasting parties
Hopefully you'll hear us give some form of this a try soon (after I - and hopefully Rich/John - wades through this).
Also, for the luddites out there some of the traditional conference calling services will send you an MP3 recording of your call for a bit more of course.
