My mum, grannymar, has uploaded a wonderful couple of emotional podcasts over at her site.
She talks about ‘Our John’ and the joys and struggles that he encountered during his turbulent life. I cried, a lot, while listening to these.
For me, this is why I wanted to get her into blogging/podcasting in the first place. Having lost my father to cancer when I was 19 years old and never knowing my paternal grandparents, I want to ensure that any future children of mine get a chance to hear the stories I heard sitting on my parents knees… I don’t trust myself to get all the details correct, so with Mum recording them they will be faithfully retold in the future for generations to come.
Could we hear Grannymar through an mp3 file directly exposed on her blog posts? If so, we can catch her podcasts directly on our mobile phones.

I think we’re going to have to move that way. She’d been using Odeo and Evoca as they were simple to use, but Odeo started messing up and not playing her posts for the public nad then Evoca only stores 60 mins for free and is quite steeply priced after that…
So we’re now struggling trying to find a simple solution so that she can record mp3 files on her PC and post them up…
Any recommendations? We need both a recording client and a way to store the files online?
