David asked how to change your artwork and description that is found on your iTunes listing page. I also shared an issue that I’ve been having on my Mac when deleting items off my SD card where it is not freeing up that memory. A few solutions are provided to solve this issue.

Juan emailed me with a few questions about podcasting and I chose to go ahead and include those here in the podcast as well.

WordPress 3 has been released, though I’ve not yet had time to update any of my sites yet. I would suggest running it on a test site first with all your plugins to see how it reacts. Of course, I strongly suggest a complete backup of all your WordPress folders and subfolders, as well as your SQL Database, before upgrading to 3.0 just to be safe.

Libysn blogged about the fact that iTunes is going to do something that will potentially expose us to BILLIONS of new potential podcast subscribers.

A fearful, legendary name for a practical, friendly looking microphone.

With a name like ‘Yeti’, visions of the mythological Himalayan snow creature disappear at the site of this Blue USB microphone. Looking at the mic, those thoughts are replaced with visions of a stretched out R2D2.

The Yeti is Blue Microphones latest USB offering; as unique in form and function as its name. This microphone is big and the desktop stand is hefty. However, boom mounting is no problem thanks to the recessed threads at the base.

Feature-wise, the Yeti offers zero-latency monitoring through the adjustable gain headphone amp. A handy mute switch is on front. The back reveals a gain pot above the pattern switch. The Yeti has plenty of gain. The sound is good, but very different depending on the pattern. Four patterns, three 22mm elements. This mic excels at being versatile. The stereo pattern allows voice imaging or instrument separation. The cardioid was a favorite of mine for speech. The figure eight would work fine for interviews and the omni opened things up with an airy sound.

As with most USB mics, the nice part is simply plugging the device in a compliant (1.1 or greater) port and recording. See the Blue microphone site for detailed requirements.

The Yeti is a great value and very versatile. Have a look and listen!
