Hi Beat Oracle!
I was wondering if there’s any chance you could upload your shows in a higher bitrate. It’s a shame that you find all this great music but it being rough to listen to due to the bitrate (especially on Stitcher). I spoke to Mr. Lectro about it and he suggested I make a comment here.
If there are size limitations, I understand.
Thanks!
Thanks for listening! Two points:
First, I believe Stitcher may transcode our podcast to a lower bitrate to use less bandwidth for streaming. For a better listening experience you can use our website or a podcast app that relies on our RSS feed.
Secondly, we recently upgraded our bitrate to a minimum VBR of 160kbps (often the shows are closer to 180kbps). Hopefully you’ve noticed some increase in quality when listening through the site. This is as high a bitrate as we can go to for bandwidth reasons.
