Linux Lads live podcast recording
summary
Live recording of the Linux Lads podcast shows how episodes are produced end-to-end: remote and local recording, editing moved from Audacity to Ardour over Audacity, publishing via a custom Python static-site pipeline, hosting on a cheap VPS and notes in Nextcloud. Hardware lessons: Blue Yeti problems, SM58+Behringer UM2 or USB interfaces work reliably. Audio stack improvements include PipeWire replaces JACK and tools like pavucontrol; Riverside FM breaks when free-tier limits hit. Typical cost and setup time stay low (≈€100–150, weeks to polish).
