Ok, so the thing works. I created a 13mb ogg vorbis file that lasts 26 minutes. Intro/exit music clipped from Paul Simon’s You Can Call Me Al (for obvious reasons and under what I am assuming constitutes fair use and all that jazz) and with minimal editing, it took me about an hour to put the thing together.

I’m probably going to play with other audio codecs. Specifically, I want to see how Speex performs in this sort of environment. Assumedly, it will do really well.
So far, response is good. I’ll work on all of the other website-related (RSS, etc…) aspects of this project later, but I don’t need to worry about it much until wossname happens, second episode.
