This is currently the home of the Danny-Cast, and will also eventually feature audio versions of my blog and devotionals/sermons that actually got recorded.
You can also subscribe to my podcast, either through your RSS-capable browser (by clicking the link above and choosing “subscribe”) or through iTunes. For iTunes subscription (RECOMMENDED), follow the directions below:
- Open iTunes
- Click Advanced at the top of the window (you know, where “File,” “Edit,” etc. are located).
- Choose “Subscribe to Podcast” (third option down on the latest release)
- enter the following address in the box that apears: http://www.dannypeck.net/podcasts/dannycast.xml
- Click OK
- Viola! The podcast should download. You may have to click the little arrow next to Danny-Cast so that it displays the list of individual podcasts. Listen and enjoy!
For reference, I use the following hardware, software, accessories and web sites/utilities in the creation of the Danny-Cast:
- Audacity: Recording software which allows for creating separate tracks and saving your work or exporting to a wav, mp3, or other file. All recording is done and file is exported to a .wav from here. Audacity can be found at sourceforge.
- iTunes: Software for listening to music and podcasts, among other things. Used for converting .wav files to .mp3 or other format, and for collecting and listening to finished product. Can be found at apple.com/itunes
- Everex Stepnote Laptop: Handles everything fantastically. Awesome deal from TigerDirect
- Samson Q1U and Q1UC Microphones: USB mics, impressive sound. Q1UC is the condenser version, not used quite as much.
- Seagull S6 Cedar + CW Guitar: Fantastic guitar with Cherry back and sides, silver leaf maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Cedar satin finish top, dreadnought body with cutaway, and Godin Quantum I electronics.
- Fender Acoustasonic 30 Acoustic Instrument Amplifier: Nice amp, “stolen” from Michaeal Turner.
- Spectraflex Original Cable: Yes, nice instrument cable does make a difference.
- W3C Markup Validator: Located here, the validator checks my XML, because I am very bad at writing it, and legacy code isn’t good for new browsers. Particularly important for RSS files.
