Which mp3 kbps setting does The Podcast Refinery use to master finished podcasts?
We prefer to use 128 kbps. This setting is CD-quality audio yet still yields a small audio file. There are times, however, when we will use other settings. Some podcast hosting services, for example, ask that uploaded podcasts be 96 kbps mp3. This setting is still sufficient quality for corporate podcasting though we do not recommend kbps settings lower than 96. Prior to shipping your completed podcast The Podcast Refinery will indeed ask you which setting your hosting server requires.
