Just checked the stats for the podcast on Celeb Storm, it’s used 71.8mb of bandwidth in the 4-5 days it’s been up which seems pretty cool. Although if it gets really successful this could start majorly eating into bandwidth. Still, there are a few alternative solutions I could consider and I’ve never had a problem with bandwidth on my VPS anyway – I pay for 250gb and never use that because my system resources max out as I’m rarely serving static files. So I have plenty of handwidth to waste. I could easily dedicate a few gigs per day to the podcast.
I think having the time to record them is going to be more of a problem. While I have streamlined the process somewhat, it’s still an extra 20-30 minutes on top of whatever other website updates I am doing so it needs to be successful if it’s going to motivate me to keep it up once I get back to uni.
Also the issue of monitorising the podcast has crossed my mind due to the limited amount of options there are. There is no easy way to sell ads for video, at least no network that I am aware of does it.
