BandcasT is the app we've been using to create this show. It's a live chat app and podcast recorder made for mobile devices that focuses on ease of use and GREAT SOUND QUALITY. You can invite friends to a call and make a recording to immediately publish. It finalizes at the push of a button, but also allows you to access individual tracks if you're a pro and want to edit and mix yourself. Notice there are almost no internet drops, pops or clicks, and the quality is DAMN GOOD for a friggin phone.
It's in beta, and available for iphone, Android coming soon. Contact @keyword_jj for info or if you'd like to join the testers.
