Thanks Sarah – just so you know – when you login to your
account head to the ‘channel details’ tab. In there make sure you check the boxes to ‘no’ on ‘show broadcasts on public broadcast listing page’ and click ‘yes’ to ‘hide public channel page’

For added certainty click ‘yes’ to ‘Moderate this channel’
and add your own e-mail address as the moderator. Then when your interview is complete and processed we’ll e-mail you and the audio cannot go live in any way unless you want it to.

But as I say we make no money out of this (actually we even stand the cost of the freephone numbers abroad as well….) so don’t tell anyone

Happy Xmas, M

Thanks! I missed that option. That’s *really* useful. I’ll try it out as I can imagine it is something I’ll use regularly

Sarah, Mark from ipadio.com – actually you can make all recordings private on ipadio – you just login to your account and set up under channel details. Also if you make the call to the interviewee first – then call ipadio and ‘merge calls’ (be careful here – carriers don’t necessarily set conference calling up as a default on an iPhone) you can tell them you are recording them (which you should do as a matter of course/law anyway). Whilst we make not a penny piece from this functionality we have around a thousand new iPhone resgistrations a week doing just this! Mark
