Welcome to Better Podcasting! We talk about podcast tips, tools and best practices to help you succeed with your podcast! Just like you we podcast purely out of the love and the fun of it. Podcasting is our hobby and we love that it is yours too! We always encourage your questions and feedback and you can find all of our contact information at betterpodcasting.com. Inspired by a variety of recent circumstances, this week we discuss the importance of backups, redundancy and how to handle outages. We'll run down our setups and how we do our best to ensure we don't ever lose a recorded episode.  During the Better Podcasting download we discuss last week's SoundCloud downtime and how it affected some podcasters.  Finally, in the Better Podback this week we turn the tables and ask for your take on the relevance (or lack thereof perhaps) of "marathon podcasting". Do you have something to say about the art of hobby podcasting? Do you want to chime in on an episode of Better Podcasting?
