If you've been wanting to get started with podcasting, or if you're already podcasting but want to improve your workflow or take your show to the next level, Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac version 1.2 is here to help. This just-released version offers up-to-date coverage of how to plan, record, edit, publish, and promote a podcast. In particular, it now covers Audio Hijack Pro 2.7 and how to work with it to record from Voice-Over-IP software like Skype and iChat (a great option for interviews!), and it now discusses Rogue Amoeba's new and well-received Fission for quick editing without sound degradation. For those who own an earlier version of the ebook, the update is free; click the Check for Updates button on the cover of your copy to download a new version. Print-on-demand setup is underway and should be available soon.

In which we have a short show after a long delay, Discuss Rogue Amoeba's new lossless audio editor Fission, re-re-revisit recording Skype Calls, and I leak some details about a new version of Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac, currently in Progress.
