A4: I’ve never used Audacity. I see too many people complaining about it. (Myself, I use Reaper on OS X.#ozpodcastchatat
james_tew Q4: Audacity users, @IanWoolf wants to know if any of you are having issues with the program? #ozpodcastchat

A3: No view. I’m not involved with podcasts as business support, only as podcasts as media in their own right#ozpodcastchatat
james_tew Q3: Should certain types of businesses utilise the podcast medium or can it be adapted to fit all businesses? #ozpodcastchat
A2: It depends whether your podcast is informational / educational rather than “art†for want of a better word. (2#ozpodcastchatchat
A2: Transcripts are sometimes nice to have, but huge time/cost. The audio of the podcast is the media object. (1/2) #ozpodcastchat
james_tew Q2: Where do you stand on podcast transcripts? Should they be incorporated into your show note process? #ozpodcastchat

Well, @james_tew, “What is the podcast about?†is kind of the starting-point, the defining questions. All flows from th#ozpodcastchatchat
Why is @domknight playing Debbie Gibson at us?
A1: Depends if you’re supporting a business, fulfilling a desire, or have some specific value to give to the world. (2/2#ozpodcastchatat
