Whoa! Lots to digest, so this is a quick note to say "Thanks!" This is going to be a great learning resource.

To follow up on Todd's note and my comment - I actually have implemented a powerpress + amazon S3 solution and launched a video podcast on iTunes recently! Check it out here - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sinema-story-video/id1148801884?mt=2

Hi Colin, thank you for posting this link! I'm not familiar with reaper, but it sounds great for those on a budget. I already have protools+izotope suite, so I have rarely gone out looking at anything else, so it's great to learn of this option.

Hi Todd! Thank you for your note! I have been looking at Blubrry, but in the context of a video podcast on iTunes. I’m exploring a potential solution that involves using Amazon S3/Amazon CDN/Blubrry/PowerPress plugin. I had wanted to mention this in the article but left it out as it felt too advanced for a starter article. If I actually end up doing this successfully, I might write about that. The complexity is all the Amazon pieces.

Hi Carl,

Agreed. Infact, I think I lead in with that comment in the article when I speak of going with libsyn if someone is ready to spend some money. My choice for now is to now have ZERO monthly overhead for the podcast (hence, free soundcloud, free youtube, free amazon video direct), but in the future, I might go with libsyn. My feedback to the libsyn folks at podcast movement was that they really need a video podcast friendly package that doesn't break the bank. Overall, their starter packages can be more compelling. If they were to offer something like that, I might go for it, just so I could have an iTunes video podcast show in addition to the audio version.

Folks, this is really really well done, and you had some critical insights that'll form the foundations of future work in this experiential genre! Nicely, nicely done!! Congrats!
