Picking a format is a difficult decision. mp3 is the universal standard, but it has patent issues. I have thought about also providing an ogg format for people who want to use only free software.
Having a text transcript of the interviews would be great. I have a hard time getting enought time to just do the podcast, but if a listener would be willing to provide transcripts, I would post them.
I agree, an Ogg version would be nice. The mp3 version sounds fine, but I prefer Ogg myself. You could also get away with a lower bitrate and still sound the same as now, or sound better at the same bitrate using Ogg.
Other than that, nice podcast. It's the only one I listen to regularly anymore. I love BSD and use it (FreeBSD) on all desktops and servers, so a podcast about BSD is great. :)
Thanks again! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a question though. Is it possible to provide a .ogg-version of the Podcast too? Or instead of the mp3?

ReplyDeleteHey, I'm hearing-impaired. Any way this interview can be posted in form of text?
