 I’ve already given you a couple of tips on taking care of your voice for podcasting. But the real nitty gritty of any episode is in the mix. How the sounds end up where they do by the end of the whole shebang!
I’m not running and really fancy setup in my studio. I do however really want to reduce the amount of time i spend editing and mixing in the end. So I try my best to do everything live, just like a radio show. and fix as little as possible in post.
Every episode starts with and ends with the mixer. The Mic is piped into the first channel. I have a second mic attached to the second channel, but most of the time it’s off.I use headphones to monitor the sound in order to self modulate my own voice, and adjust the volume of any extra inputs.
I have the speaker wire coming from my comuter’s line out port right into the Auxiliary input on the mixer, this has a seperate volume, which allows me to control not only how much of the Aux signal (Sound Effects, music ect played on my computer during the course of the show.) goes through to the mix, but aalso allows me to choose how much of the aux signal is mixed into each input channel.
I then pipe the output channel on the mixer into the microphone port on my sound card. From there the entire mix is piped directly into audacity which records the mix. 
Editing is all done later. Since going to the faux live setup I haven’t spent too much time editing any episodes. This in turn allows me more time to work n research and fun things and content to pass along to you. Up next we’ll have a sketchnote covering the process and applications that run the show and power the aduio you hear.
My Sketchnotes are inspired by the awesome work of Mike Rohde. He has chosen to collect some of the most awesome and interesting sketchnoters on SketchnoteArmy! I was lucky enough to have some of my work displayed there but you should really check out the rest of the great work

Massive Hundred Year Blizzard! But not really that bad
You wouldn’t think two feet of snow would affect a show taped, recorded and researched entirely in my basement would you? Well if you spend a good deal of the morning shoveling and the rest of the day drinking coco you might end up a might bit tired. Sitting down to research the show I soon fell fast asleep. A couple of hours later the wife woke me up, so I made lunches and went to bed.
This episode has all that content but without the yawning and bleary eyes that would otherwise have followed. I’m toying with the idea of going on Hyadis after show 394 until after the new year, so you’ll need to wait until then to find out. I’d like to take the break to start ramping up for the 4oo in 4 event. The CaffiNation Podcast will turn 4 years old on January 9th, and celebrate our 400th show shortly thereafter

Today’s Show: Gmail, Video Games, Inbox Zero, Podcasting, Antivirus, Pharaoh, Lego, Social Networking, Hot Dogs, Coffee, Pricing, Milk
Today’s episode is going to be an interesting ride, and its the first show in a while where i can’t come up with a good title right off the bat. Since we have returned to writing articles there is plenty of fodder for commentary in the shows, we’re going to try and keep up a decent pace, probably not 2 or 3 posts a day but there is a decent backlog of information that does need to get out, I’ll try to space it out so the content is as fresh as always.
The content for today’s show is serious at times, light hearted at others and takes a good chuck of time and devotes it to the Consumable portion of the episode. So many great stories its hard to find a place to put them all. Please be sure to check the tumblr feed, the stories which rock but don’t quite make it are always shuffled off the there right before the show deploys.
As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Every once in a while its a real good thing to look back at what you are doing and how you do it to take in some of the lessons you might have missed.Basics never go out of style. And you might get something new out of the re-learning. So in that spirit I decided to ask…
What have I learned from Podcasting?
Workflow is king:
Even the most unorganized person in the world needs to have a battle plan when it comes to producing content and doing it consistently and well. You need to establish what the steps are to getting you show from idea to ear, break each step out into smaller parts. Then after you have your list look for ways to make the whole process more efficient. It used to take me 3-4 hours to do a 15 minute show from start to finish. Now it takes me 3 hours to do a 35 minute show. More time is spent on research, less on editing and more on finishing touches. Read the rest of this entry »

Today’s Show: Podcamp, Podcasting, coffee, community and passion This episode is a bit f a departure from the normal episodic content of the CaffiNation Podcast. Its basically the dulcet sounds of my voice bridging between to live segments. I’m getting the hang of recording live more and more and I’d love to incorporate this type of thing in the future. Its all about you the listeners in the end. If you dig it I will keep it up, if you hate it I may just move on. Comments feedbac and suggestions are always welcome!
