Podcasting with Propaganda: Impressive Start, Rough Around the Edges

It has an impressive user interface, and some great features, but ultimately suffers from 1.0 syndrome: rough edges, missing needed features, and some quirky bugs (like asking me for my registration code again when opening up a saved file).<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/screenshot-Propaganda-800x600.gif" /><br /><br />It didn't seem right to review a podcasting application by <i>writing</i> about it, so instead I used the application to record my review of it. ;-) <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/quicklook-propaganda.wma">Listen to my audio review now.</a> [48kbps WMA]

lol, glad you mentioned the Propaganda product name in your podcast, but I disagree. Not knowing anything about the program/company, I probably wouldn't pick an application called Propaganda. :lol: ROFL...their website is MakePropaganda.com (http://www.makepropaganda.com/). That's great.

Another nice podcast. :) Can you look at putting the sound file in the RSS Feed (http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/xml/) in the future, so we can download it within an RSS Reader, such as FeedDemon (http://www.feeddemon.com/feeddemon/)?

Oh, and while I'm complaining, that bug with a space after url tags really bugs me. :P

Heh. It's funny, everyone thinks now that ANY audio file is automatically a Podcast and thus needs to be in an RSS enclosure. A one-off audio recording does not a podcast feed make. ;-) It's a three minute audio review, not really worthy of taking it with you. If we start doing audio broadcasts regularly, rest assured we'll put it in an RSS enclosure.
