Podcaster challenge

With the advent of iTunes version 4.9, there appears to have been an increase in the number of broadcasters entering the fray. A high proportion of the podcasts from well-established media companies seem to flooding the market with canned versions of earlier broadcasts.

Whatever their reason, the standards that are often set with the audio quality of broadcasting corporations is a challenge to podcasters. That is asuming they apply the right MP3 codec of course! With years of experience in managing recording, mixing, editing and post production processes, producing quality audio is a snip for broadcasters. Much of the software available to "indie-podcasters" is now of a high standard and can be used to produce exceptional quality audio.

So the challenge is on. Can we podcasters really show how well it can be done in terms of audio production and, therefore, level the field?
