You know something you do every single time you do your thing? — libsyn (@libsyn) July 19, 2013 You can find a deeper conversation over here on Facebook. Let us know what YOUR ritual is if you haven’t had a chance :) In summation: Podcasters like to drink (preferably something that in some way alters the nervous system) and eat as a way to prepare for podcasting :) Rob Walch Shares How To Podcast 100% from An iOS Device Via Rob Walch: One of the biggest trends we have seen in the past couple of years at Libsyn is the consumption of podcast episodes directly to mobile devices. In April 2012 i 43% of all downloads were to mobile devices. In June it was almost 54% of all downloads. That trend line is not slowing down any time soon. For many people their iOS device has become their main computing device. Not just where they consume content but where they also want to create it. You can create an audio podcast in MP3 format on an iOS device and upload it to your Libsyn account - even having it go live instantly on your Libsyn feed. Part of what makes it so easy is one Libsyn feature many Libsyn users may not know about - but has been there since the early days. It is called our quickcast feature. The quickcast feature allows you to take an MP3 file and upload it via FTP to your Libsyn account into your folder called quickcast. Once the file is placed in that folder our system will pull the Name and Description from the ID3 tags and use them for the name and description in the post - and automatically make it live on your feed and your other destinations - like your smartphone apps, or your libsyn blog page or Wordpress or Blogger pages if you have them set up. Of course to do this you need an App that supports a few key features - Exporting as an MP3 file via FTP and where you can edit the ID3 tags before exporting. And luckily for libsyn users there is such an app - it is called Bossjock - it is $9.99 and it was created by one of the original founders of Libsyn. It is also the only App in the App store that supports these features. There is also a good mic for iOS devices call the iRig MIC Cast mic - this plugs right into the headphone port on your iOS device. This mic gives very good quality and only cost $39. Brief overview of the work flow for creating a podcast episode with the Bossjock app. Open the boss jock app and tap the lock symbol to turn on the mic and tap the record button to start recording. Once done recording - swipe the bar at the bottom to pause and then tap finish. Add a name for the file - no spaces and tap save. Go to recording then tap on your episode and add the title you want for your post title - spaces are ok. And add a description of the episode. Then tap Export Select MP3, mono, and move the slider so it shows 64 kbps for the bit rate and then tap FTP. Enter your FTP server in
