I regularly listen to Linux Action Show podcast and I found this review of Fedora 8 really worth sharing with others. It is really hard but realistic review and I believe they drive to high standards for Fedora and other distros only so that they become better for us users.

I really love Fedora and I use it on all 3 of my laptops and one desktop but I mostly agree with this review and would like to see Fedora shine more in the future.

I listen to lot of podcasts and in lots of episodes there are some great parts of the show that I would like to share with my friends.
This appears to be a bit tricky thing to do.

To do this you need:

• cut out the part of the show that you like
• find a site to upload your piece (the most tricky part)
• embedd the podcast to your blog

There are lots of different tools for linux, I mainly use audacity or mp3cut, and this is not the hard part. The hardest part of this endeavor is finding a service to host your files and make them available in streaming flash format and also for download.

I tried a few of the bestknow services like; pownce, houndbite, zshare, and a few more, but only two services are usable enough for this task. Pownce has a limit of 10MB (clips I used were 12-25MB in size), houndbite has a limit of 8MB so file size limit was the excluding factor for these services.

Only two services which I found usable were archive.org and twango.

Twango has the best upload interface which tells you how much you have uploaded and how much you still need to wait until the whole file is uploaded, so cudos to them. Also twango has an embedded player code for your blog ready as soon as you upload a file, unlike archive.org. Still I like archive.org more only because it has the feeling of openness like opensource and you need to hack it a bit to embedd an audio to your blog :), plus it has a nicer looking player on your blog.

Here’s the link for embedding podcast from archive.org on your blog.
