I’m always on the look out for new technology and widgets that I can integrate into my podcast.

So today, I wanted to quickly tell you about a new widget called speak pipe.

Speak pipe allows visitors to your website to leave a voicemail message for you. You can these take these audio files and embed them in your podcast audio. I kinda see it as the podcast equivalent of blog comments.

If you’re an editing junkie like me, you may of fantasised about editing audio on a tablet device like the Ipad. C’mon admit it … it’d be pretty cool editing with a touchscreen!

Well I’ve just picked up a 32GB Ipad on my way back through Malaysia. And it didn’t take me long to search the app store for an editing app to mess around with. The video below is a quick review of an app I found called Pocket Wavepad. I tried to edit an episode of my podcast using Wavepad with some interesting results.

Apologies about the quality of this recording, but I explain why it’s a little wonky in the video.

If you have trouble with getting all of your audio to sit at the one volume level then look no further. Recently I discovered some free software to help even out your podcast sound levels. It’s called Levelator and you can use it on PC and MAC.

I’ve recorded a quick demo for you below.
