I need to get back into podcasting [Updated]
However I need to find a different way of doing it. I spent way to much time on those. I was spending several hours writing out what I would say, then recording it, then editing (about 3 times the length of the episode) and any bits I needed to re-record because I stumbled over a word or whatever, then encoding them and listening again to make sure it all worked well.
Basically I was spending around 7/8 hours for each 30 minute podcast. And the python series was taking even longer as I was learning the python first and writing the code then writing the script etc.
So when I got my job, I suddenly had no free time and I dropped off the podcasting scene. Even more when I was working Sunday mornings at 5 am which meant I couldn’t do cranks on Saturday night.
I really need to get back into podcasting and am attempting to streamline the process. First up I think I will ad-lib the episodes a lot more, as that was a lot of the time gone writing the episodes. To this end, I am writing a little bash script which, whilst being rather sucky so far, has potential:

Nice
Will definitely have to grab a few things from there
