What tech does "On This Date" use? Wikipedia is used as the source for the event information. Festival is used for the voice synthesis. Wavtools is used to concatenate all the .wav files together. Lame is used to convert the .wav file to an .mp3 file Simplythebest.net is the source for the typing intro/close music. libsyn.com is my hosting provider. They quite simply rock! On This Date runs on a Gentoo GNU/Linux server running at my house. It takes it about 3 minutes to create the podcast and upload it to libsyn.com.
