Ask the Geeky Girls -
Leah (eventual) from Minnesota asks:
I enjoy watching your show every week and I was wondering - how do you get your videos into iTunes? I decided I wanted to try my hand at video podcasting, and I’m having the hardest time figuring out how to get it to work in any podcasting service (I have however gotten it to work on blogger, YouTube, Dropbox, and soundcloud). I’m generally pretty tech savvy but this process has me completely stumped and tearing my hair out! What suggestions do you have with uploading a video to a service such as iTunes? What’s the process??

We mention this tutorial by Megan of Stockinette Zombies.
