Many folks have asked in the past about the nuts and bolts of Warbirds, and the general steps involved in getting a podcast going. This one may or may not be for you. There's no traditional "story" in this one. But for those that want a deep look in to how I publish each episode, as well as the infrastructure involved, this is for you.
