Alexy,

You misunderstood this part, I think.
Podacst is collaborative and is done using Skype. But everyone records their 
own tracks, so that in downloadable copy the quality is higher.
Any realtime collaboration software uses suboptimal codecs which hurts 
end-result. It might be ok for live-broadcast, but not ok for distributable 
copy.


Thanks for clarifying. I was just going to. Yeah, everyone still talks to each other (by whatever means) and records the audio locally. Then, the files are mixed to create the final version.

Well, other VoIP software will work too, but the quality of live-broadcast will 
be worse in this case.


I agree. I don't know if ever major podcast (or almost every major podcast) uses Skype, but it's pretty common. And, hey, if it's good enough for Oprah... :p

Honestly, the security issues (which are actually minimal (I use Skype weekly with my brother in Indonesia and I've never had a problem), are moot (imho) in the case of a podcast session.
