Sigh, it's not just a "simple conversion". It actually doubles up your
post production time. Not only are you having to output two files, but
you're also having to setup a seperate feed for mp3 and ogg, upload the
individual files, duplicate the show information, etc, etc.

Trust me on this, I do this everytime I release a podcast.

But you're not the one doing the work.

Bing and there you lose any argument you might have had.

Clinton started this thread to ask for help in the post production
portion of the podcast. So far all he's gotten is "waaaah you're not
supporting blah", instead of "how about I help you by doing blah".

Putting together a podcast takes time and effort.
