More than a thousand years ago when I worked as a DJ at an album-oriented-rock (AOR) station, we relied on up-timers to keep us on track with our show clock and to monitor airtime. As a podcaster, I've been craving just such a tool. You can buy an expensive up-timer from a company like Broadcast Supply Worldwide. But if you're lucky enough to have a Mac, you can get a software version for free.
A very talented man named Paul Figgiani has created this gem and is offering it as a free download on his website at http://podcastrigs.com/.
It's a 60-minute up-timer. It's simple, easy to use and effective. Paul is also offering a free audio player you can download and use to audition any audio file.
I always get excited when I find ways to marry the good stuff we used at "real" radio stations with podcasting. Check out these new tools and see if they help you. They really worked well for me.
