Some Best Practices to Consider Spoken word without music: 22,050Hz (Sample rate) + Mono = smaller file size. With music: 44,100 Hz + Stereo = larger file, but better quality. A 2:41 program recorded at 44,100Hz, 128 kbps, Stereo = 2.46MB. Copyright vs. Creative Commons license Use podsafe (royalty-free ) music or write your own. Use closed captioning or create a link to show notes/transcript. Create descriptive ID3 tag (metadata) [add an image to the tag].Test RSS feed via http://www.feedvalidator.org/ and also with a podcasting client (e.g., iTunes, Zencast).
