We last mentioned Übercaster several months ago, and now the German-made all-in-one podcast producing tool is finally shipping. Übercaster is designed to replace a variety of different applications, allowing you to produce, record, and edit your podcast all in one interface. You're able to set up a variety of clips (e.g. intro and exit music), clips, sound effects, etc., which you can invoke with one-click as you're talking. It even allows recording audio directly from iChat, Skype, and Gizmo Project. Once you've laid down your tracks, it allows you to edit them in a multi-track editing environment. I played with the beta while back and was impressed with the Mac-like nature of the program, though I did notice it sometimes does not gracefully handle large audio files dropped into it.Unfortunately, all of this podcasting goodness does not come cheap. Übercaster is $79.95 and a demo is available.

DanielD Are you saying that this is better or worse than GarageBand? Why would I pay $79 to replace an excellent (or at worst adequate) solution that came free with my machine?

I am saying that I would stick with garageband, from the description it does not seem to offer anything to justify paying for it over free iLife. I love garageband and have no interest in alternative arrangements.

You both don't even have looked at the application you're talking about, right?
Maybe you should have visited their site and read the feature list before blubbering over here. Übercaster does a bunch of podcasting specific stuff, Garageband doesn't know anything about.
And don't forget: Garageband IS NOT FREE (unless you're planning to buy a new Mac each year). It's part of iLife and I doubt that the $79 Apple asks for it are a realistic price. That's definitely a subsidized price.
