This podcast is recorded on a Mac using Audio Hijack Pro. As for equipment, John is using a Behringer C-1 microphone going through a Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO mixer, monitored with Etymotic ER-6i Isolator earphones, then straight in to his Mac. On Dave's end, a Heil PR-40 microphone is used, and the whole show is mixed "live" through a Mackie Onyx 1220 FireWire-enabled mixer before being pumped back into the Mac (via FireWire, of course), and is monitored with Future Sonics Ear Monitors custom-fitted earphones. Each microphone is run through a channel on a Behringer Autocom Pro-XL MDX1600 compressor, a touch of reverb is added with an ART FX-1 processor, and the whole thing is then compressed in software on the Mac. The show is recorded to AIFF, and then converted and uploaded with an Automator script. Michael, aka Computernap, then goes through and enhances the show to provide you with the AAC version. You can hear more details of the setup and how it's mixed on Episode #32.
Theme Music: "The Answer", written by Jeff Steblea and Brian Ayles, as performed by Go Figure. "Made On A Mac" bumper by Mark Fleser

Observer Comments
Broadcast and multicast are really the same thing. They come from Ethernet (which is a shared broadcast medium). Broadcast is defined as a single, distinguished MAC address that everybody should listen to. Multicast addresses are a range of MAC addresses (pseudo-host addresses) that people can optionally listen to for smaller group communication. Your Ethernet card is setup to filter packets for: your machine's MAC address, the broadcast MAC address, and any multicast MAC addresses that you have subscribed to.
The IP world grew up in a long-haul, non-broadcast, environment. It has historically been resistant to broadcast and multicast because they are limited to certain networking technologies. The growth of LANs has caused workarounds to be created in local network environments or in corporate environments where multicast traffic can forwarded over long haul links.
