You guys, being such heathens, not going to church, hating rich movie directors :P Also, Kevin, I understand RSS, its really easy for me to code XML/HTML as it all uses tags, the issue is that there really isn't too much info on how to make an iTunes one, could you give us a sample of all the starter tags, that would be amazing if you take the time to do that :P

Also, to test a RSS feed before you publish it go into iTunes and click File>Subscribe To Podcast, and then enter in either the path to the XML file on your computer by doing file:///path/to/file.XML or on your website by just entering the URL of it. Then you don't have to worry about messing up your podcast, also if you want to learn XML for free go to http://www.w3schools.com/xml/ its pretty nice. ;P

My suggestion of a free program is Microsoft PowerPoint. No, really, I use it all the time.
You have to be creative. Use different fonts, shadows, and styles. It makes it look new.
I have a slideshow on my site that is all PowerPoint stuff (except when I edit out the background on PhotoShop, used to do that in Windows Paint). And it gets the job done. But, with that said, all that was on a 2003 version (but the logo on 2007). But it looks nice! Make sure you adjust the margins to make it fit for your video.
And it’s free. If it’s not on your computer, then get a <a href="outlook.com">Outlook account</a>.
And you guys indirectly answered the question why no one can get used to the new <a href="VeggieTales.com">VeggieTales</a>!

Fun episode guys. I just wanted to mention that I think the plugin Kevin mentioned that he described as "opposite to a limiter" was a *gate*. A gate can be used to decrease the sound during the quiet parts (below a threshold) and thus eliminate some reverb. It can work (somewhat) but needs to be set fairly tame, otherwise it cuts things off too awkwardly. If you use a little bit of EQ as well it can help. Ultimately, it seems the only way around it is to record without reverb, as they said.

I also wanted to mention that their is a free service for hosting podcasts that I know of called https://www.kiwi6.com/
It may take a few more steps than Lybsyn, but that's the price you pay when it's free. Also it does have a total upload limit, but at least you can use it until you feel like paying for more (I have been using it for close to a year and have not hit the total limit).

God bless!
