=='''Production and Publication'''==

[http://www.sionshankel.com Sion] and I both watch programs twice.  Once to get the story down and once to pay attention to details and spot foreshadowing.  We generally try to record immediately after the second viewing so the episode will be fresh in our memories.

NatterCast is recorded on a [http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h4n/ Zoom H4n digital recorder] and two [http://www.sennheiserusa.com/professional-shotgun-microphone-cardoid-reporting-film-broadcast-applications_k6-series_003284 Sennheiser ME66 shotgun microphones] which double as our boom microphones on our [[Filmmaking|filmmaking]] projects.  We may choose to switch over to the more typical studio [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone#Omnidirectional omnidirectional microphone], but one of the advantages of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone#Shotgun shotgun microphones] is that they are highly directional, making it easier to filter out noise.

After we record, the NatterCast is edited and filtered in [http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/soundtrackpro/ Soundtrack Pro].  The music intro and outro are added and a high-pass filter at about 200-250hz is applied to clean out the bass noise and punch the treble in our otherwise [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000469/ James Earl Jones-] and [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000678/ Kathleen Turner-] like voices.

The resulting MP3 is tagged and titled with [http://www.id3.org/ ID3] and uploaded to our web server.

Once uploaded, we add an entry to the [http://nattercast.blogspot.com/ NatterCast blog].  This blog has been registered as a podcast with [http://feedburner.google.com FeedBurner] which generates an [http://feeds.feedburner.com/NatterCast RSS feed] for our show.  This feed was submitted to [http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/natter-cast/id464000567 iTunes] and so is automatically updated after we make the blog entry.
