Cinch: Record podcasts from your phone, no signup necessary
All you have to do is a call 646-200-0000 from any phone and start talking. Cinch will record your conversation and create a feed with your call as an MP3 enclosure. You never even need to visit the Cinch web page or sign up for the service. So how do you find your feed? Simple, just add your phone number to the end of the Cinch URL. For example, if your phone number is 555-253-4756, your feed would be published at http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/5552534756.
Now, the audio quality isn't going to be amazing. We're talking about recording telephone calls here, after all. If you're serious about podcasting, you're going to want to get a decent microphone, some audio editing software, and so forth. But if you just want to record short interviews on the go and you don't have any other equipment handy, Cinch could be a lifesaver.
And if you're worried about sharing your phone number with the general public through the URL, you can always use FeedBurner to republish your feed with a different URL.
