Give us some feedback on the quality of our audio! We’re doing something awesome :)
Skype alternatives begin!

Zoom

There is a free account
It provides a recording - nice quality
You can take the video off and only use audio
They have a smartphone app
You download the client software


Fuze

It supports and amazing amount of people in a room with video!
There is a free account BUT does not provide a recording through Fuze
You can choose to do the conversation audio only
You need to record on your own, but a great way to connect with your people
They have a smartphone app
You download the client software


Go To Meeting

It is paid, no free account
You get the recording
You can just do audio if you want
They have a smartphone app
You download the client software


Uberconference

There is a free account
Surprising good quality from Uberconference
If both people are using a microphone, it sounds awesome, if your guest is on the telephone the levels are drastically off
It is browser based - no downloaded


Blab/Podclear

The conversation will not be private - it is a public conversation
There is no way to do audio only
They provide the recording for you, which is decent
It’s free!


Google Hangouts

You can do a private hangout
You do have the option of doing audio (I was wrong)


Other free conferencing services

not the best - use Uberconference


Double-enders

Work best when you are dealing with another podcaster or someone that has a microphone and knows how to record themselves.


Ringr

Both guests NEED to have the app downloaded
Both people need to be on the phone
Post uploading to the Ringr service might be an issue


RECAP

NOT software - this is a hardware solution
There might be a learning curve and workflow to make this work

If you're looking for *quick* and succinct tips on how to podcast, grow your audience, and monetize your show this is NOT the show for you. Will you get all that from this show? Absolutely! And a lot more, but not in way you expect. THERE IS A LOT OF CHIT CHAT AND NOT GETTING TO THE POINT. This show is a personality driven show hosted by powerhouses and podcasting industry experts Jessica Kupferman and Elsie Escobar (supported by their producer John.) They will give you insightful, wise, expert advice about all aspects about the podcasting industry, from advertising and sponsorships, to the latest and greatest microphones and workflows, to how the podcasting industry is failing and thriving. You will also get the reality of what it takes to podcast as working from home women and moms running their own businesses and supporting a vibrant community of women podcasters of over 12k members. If you don't like chit chat, banter and feeling like you're hanging out with Elsie and Jess at their kitchen table (or eavesdropping on them) while they drop some brilliant wisdom about podcasting (and possibly 800 other subjects), go ahead and save yourself some time and move along now.
