Sascha Siekmann is working on a simpler way to make your own complete podcasts. It’s a standalone Windows application designed to allow easy recording (and re-recording, when you screw up!) of “segments", with or without background “beds". These segments can be live faded and mixed with prerecorded music while recording, and then automatically assembled into a final MP3. The application even includes FTP transfer and editing of accompanying text notes.

I have tried this software out, and it still has quite a few warts. I like to store my media content on a separate hard drive from my operating system files, but WinPodCast only understands drive C. I also found some strange behavior and error messages. When it worked, it was great, though. The live fading and mixing is much easier than the applications I have used for audio post-production in the past.

This is definately an application to watch - when Sascha gets the wrinkles out it could become the podcasting must-have. Sehr gut.
