Five is the minimum. You did, of course, already put your first through Quality Control, to demonstrate you understand the rules?
Also, I'd recommend staying several episodes ahead if at all possible, but posting a new episode each week. I've found…
Try switching to non-caffinated beverages for a while before recording. Tooth whistles (I can hear them while typing that) are often a consequence of a too-dry mouth, and drinking coffee & such actually dries out your mouth. Hey, might help. Should…
I found a link to a free program that may serve your purposes. There's a Windows and a Mac version indicated here. http://www.bmyers.com/public/662.cfm

I know Vista itself doesn't give one many options for changing anything in the ID3 tags in MP3 files, and I don't doubt Win7 is equally limited. iTunes can be a useful tool for editing tags and adding cover art and such, among other things. I use Me…

Hi Griz,
Don't let it get you down, bro. I've got an M.S. in Information Science, and I still screwed things up so bad Evo threatened not to let me in my first few tries.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out. My podcast is at www.theveingel.com. It's late, and I haven't had time to listen to your show yet, but your frustration made me feel for you.
So, like I said, if I can help, get in touch and I'll see what I can do. I've learned a lot the hard way myself, so you'll find a sympathetic ear.
