By now I've accepted that I can't get the audio streaming to work so for streaming we'll have to stick with the YouTube version below.
You can still download the mp3 to listen to at your leisure here: Level Up s02e03
Some info regarding the mp3 for this week's show - It's at a lower bitrate than normal in order to make the file size smaller. So why the need to make the files smaller? iTunes. It's been pointed out that there are significant numbers of people who may be willing to listen, but only if the podquiz is on iTunes. It's also a factor in attracting guest onto the show.
In order to get on iTunes requires RSS and hosting, and that means money. Cash. Spondoolies. Moolar. Kajangoes. Pocket Lizzies. The bigger the file size means the more expensive the hosting so it's crunch time.
Level Up already takes up a significant amount of time in preparation and editing so the consideration now is whether it's worth pumping money into as well. And while it's not a huge amount of money it's enough to have a big enough impact to not be an easy decision to make. First step though is reducing the file size so that should hosting and iTunes become something we do it will ease the transition.
Now, that YouTube video I promised you:
