Update: Blip.tv has gone above and beyond what would be expected for tech support and I will be writing up a blog post on http://AdventuresOfBen.com about how their customer service is stellar and what other tech companies could learn from them. I have no doubt now that I made the right choice in having them as a provider for my new podcast. Thank you Blip!
