I really need to get started on that novel. I'm efferfreakinvescent.
Still working on that podcast idea. Mr Mau says that it's doable as SWF, but I've then gotta work on the time it'd take to do. My old "Church of Shatnerology Rant of the Day" broadcasts circa 1997 (basically a very primative podcast) got down to a science. By the time I closed it down, I could produce, edit, and upload a five minute rant in about seven minutes. I'll need to be able to do that kind of schedule or else it'll become a grind. It's doable audio-only, but if I added animation and such, it'd just slow the production way down.
So if I do it, it'll probably be audio-only.
BTW, if you don't have a better audio program you might try Audacity
