My client wants to run a one-off live podcast on his blog, which is popular enough to land a couple million visits per month. Am I right in imagining that ShoutCast is the best way to handle that?

More importantly, what kind of VPS would we need to serve up to 30k listeners a modest-quality stream?

  • "one-off live podcast" and "visits per month" does not compute, unless this podcast is going to be very, very long.

    It might be that the blog is already very popular and gets the couple million visits per month, now he's going to add a one-off podcast.

You need about 2gbps of bandwidth at 64kbps per client. I doubt your average VPS will do more than 100mbps.

Perhaps load balancing across a few EC2 instances will work for you.
