Hi Steven and all, I realize that probably a good many of you are in favor of some kind of a podcast. I'm not totally against the idea, but I foresee problems with it. For one thing a podcast would require extra server bandwidth, more storage space, and that would incur greater cost to keep the site up and running. Therefore in order to do this we would have to take donations on a regular basis to pay for the cost of operating the site and so forth. Another is technical quality from podcast to podcast. Now, I know this varies from person to person but I expect people who record podcasts to have fairly decent recording equipment so it is easy to clean up, edit, and post to the site. If I were the one reviewing podcast submissions and it were recorded on a $15 microphone with too much static or background noise I'd probably turn the submission down on the grounds it doesn't meet quality standards. Finally, not everyone can record a podcast. I myself have difficulties with my Jaw, making speaking very difficult, therefore I prefer to write what I have to say than try and speak clearly into a microphone. Obviously, that particular problem would not effect everyone, but I foresee others having problems with recording pod casts weather it is not having the right hardware or software, not being able to speak clearly, or something else.
Bottom line, what I personally think is the best answer to this issue is to have both. We can still keep the magazine, update it a bit, turn it into a full online webzine or e-zine with articles, reviews, stories, and so forth. If people are determined to have a podcast perhaps we can try that as well, but it would be in addition to the magazine and would not be a replacement for it. Cheers!
