Wow I loved this podcast. I’m planning on studying abroad in Gijón/Asturias and this just made me more excited.

Thank for replay. Podpress is not functioning in wp2.7 for me. Audacity is ok, I’ve tried it. Ok, I have to search in plugin directories. Thank for a good blog.

Hi,

I use something called podpress to add the podcasts to the site, though I have a feeling people are using a different plugin now as podpress is no longer updated.

Also, try audacity for editing, it’s free.

I am a regular reader/listener of your blog. Thank you for your notes from Spain. I am a fan of spain with a summerhouse down there. A technical question: I like your podcasts and I wonder which audiosoftware are u using, and how do u arrange the presentations on the blog/site? (Newbee as you understand)

Thank Javi – I should try that place definitely too! But we are a bit addicted to Casa Poli!

Hello

I’ve listened to your podcast and regarding the blow holes I think that the reason why they are called “bufones” is because they “bufan”.
A very good friend of mine lives in Puertas de Vidiago and we’ve enjoyed many times those wonderful sounds.
If I can give you an advice, the next time you come to Puertas and cannot book a table in casa Poli, you can go to “Sidrería los bufones”, which is just on the other side of the road, and enjoy pretty tasty dishes as well.

@ Ben,

If it’s those little beasties in the background you are talking about: they are field crickets, not cicadas. Cicadas sound like circular saws and the song of a single cicada can be quite loud, let alone the deafening clamor produced by a whole chorus.
