We've joined Libsyn!

I'm pleased to announce that we've just completed a migration of the In Spirit with Ruth Phillips podcast to Liberated Syndication (or libsyn for short). Libsyn are pioneers in effective podcast hosting solutions and their platform makes it easy for us to keep bringing you each new episode effortlessly.

We've changed our podcast feed to 'point' listeners to the files stored on libsyn podcast servers.

I guess the big question is why did we change?

Over the last twelve months our audience for the In Spirit Podcast has grown significantly. Up until recently we've hosted our podcast files in the same location as the podcast website. This worked well for a while until our audience grew and our web server started to buckle under the strain. As we start to plan for weekly shows we realised that our servers simply wouldn't cope with the load, and so we set about planning for a new hosting solution that would.

Will there be any interruption? As a listener we don't expect that you will notice any interruption to the service. You will see new play buttons on the blog and the podcast website. Look for the new grey-coloured Play Channel Now button.

If you hit a problem during this migration period, please let us know by leaving us a comment. Please keep giving us feedback about your experiences with the podcast after the migration.

Thanks again for tuning-in and we hope you'll like the changes. Please write to us with your feedback, concerns and suggestions because we love to hear them!
